Automatic trannies. what do you think?

[ranj]

How much do you hate automatic sports cars?

I'm strictly talking cars used for any kind or racing.
The only thing i would use an automatic tranny for is for the very unlikely chance i go rockcrawling but that's about it, i abosolutely hate auto's.
I have many friends who drive auto's, and even some who race them and are quite good at it, but i just really can't stand automatic cars. so tell me what you think.

[aaronfelipe]

what the fuck are you doing

[LS2ner]

repost

[Nemesis]

The age old argument of automatics vs. manual. So many variables, so many preferences. Dumb.

[Mr_Mischif]

Was this so important that 2 threads were necessary? IBTL.

He acutally made three threads.

[ranj]

sorry guys, i don't know what happened

[LS2ner]

Lolz...Manual for the win.

[quickdodge®]

so tell me what you think.

Here's what I think. Why do you feel that this topic is so worth a shit to make two of them? Even one is shitty, but goddamn two? Later, QD.

He actually has a third one under the SIG TEST section.

here is imo the best answer for this question..which one best suits you is what you should go with...

[1439/2000]

Turbo Regals and T/As with the power six are the only thing with an auto that I would drive. Plenty of other fast autos for dragging that can shift faster than a human can, ie M5. For turns though, manual has the power where you want it.

[1SICKLEX]

Ive had manual and autos here in Atlanta. With the traffic I love my auto. When the time comes for a weekend car or my 911, a manual will only do

[Bruce Leroy]

and even some who race them and are quite good at it

how can you be good at racing an auto. Just mash the gas and go.

[ranj]

he made up for the automatic in cornering and other ways too. but straight lines didn't go to well for him.

[Hulud]

my first car was auto, never again


i like being in control of my car

exactly,supras are awesome auto..and iv beatin some dumb rednecks in stick shift Mustangs in my auto 7

[The Ren]

Although I do get the comments.. no sports car is real unless its manual.. I know plenty of auto supras that could whoop most MANUAL imports..

[Z33_kid]

ghost ride the auto lol

[thepolecat]

FTL

[Elbow]

An auto Supra or high HP killa is a little different then a Civic auto lol, I'd take an auto Supra or SC300 or something, I'd rather have manual, but for my Civic, 5 speed and never will drive an auto.

[Tank]

im auto TH350 but listen to REN the worlds fastest supras are autos and nowadays most exotics are being made autos also, but if you ever need a clear answer on this look me up one day and ill show you the great feeling of catching full boost and never losing it.

[Lucky DAWG]

manual hands down is better for racing

depends how much u like shifting back in forth between gears though when you're in atlanta traffic, i personally can't stand it, and until i get a beater with an auto and a bigger pocket, i wont be converting to manual anytime soon

SC for the win! i wanna do the 6 speed conversion a lot later

[Ran]

I prefer driving on the twisties more often than not, so a manual is preferred. Also, I tend to get bored when driving an automatic.

Drag..... Auto

depends on what ur doing...

dd... i'd rather have an auto... i'm tired of using a stick in every day traffic...

street racing... i'd rather have a manual...

but not all automatics are your everday auto's....

in some cars, a built automatic tranny is the way to go...

and like rush said, i'd say a lot of drags are auto's...

Well then again I would much rather have "This" Auto that is in my car if I was gonna race someone on the street. I dont street Race!

[Killer]

........ rush.. i drive a civic...

remember that..


if i was gonna street race.. i wouldn't pull up to a supra regardless what tranny u had, or i had...

i'm saying if i pulled up to another car on my level.. i'd say i'd take a plane jane auto civic...

[RUSH]

Well this dude is saying all out sports cars...

If I was anywhere around 400hp and under then I would rather have a manual


Everyone has there Opinion

.. i think ranj should have been a little more specific with what he was talking about...

i think he meant STOCK sports cars...

as opposed to 10021654960465409834u598!!lkifwkwoie000000 horse power , pearl blue, black wheels, and a lip... supras... (that are for sale on this very site) lol..

[toland03]

Autos piss me off. I always reach for the clutch and try to move the shifter. 5 or 6 speeds are what suit me best. I think that they should be more common though, because most people on the road can barely think and drive, let alone shift.

For racing, I think whatever the individual thinks would work best for them will be the best. I always prefer manual.

[RUSH]

3 spd on the column(spl) for me!

[Jaimecbr900]

Sticks are funner to drive, but they too get old.

I have an auto in mine, but sometimes I wish I had a manual. Most of the time I'm glad I don't though. I've driven both for many years and years. I used to drive from L'ville to Fulton Ind. every stinking day in a manual. It sucked majorly.

Both have their pros and cons. Personally, I'd take a built domestic TH400/350 over a lot of manuals anyway. It does everything a manual can do, only better/faster/for longer time. I've seen some setup to where you have to manually shift it anyway.

For little NA 4 bangers.....yep, manual is the way to go. Everything else, it's debatable.

[BLK JDM]

Preach on Jaime!!

The fastest drag race cars import or domestic are autos!!! You can't beat the technology companies like GM have put into FWD or RWD automatics.

Turbo Supra Automatic trannies suck!!! They can't hold power and end of blowing up. Most high horsepower auto Supras or Lexi have TH400/350 or have been built by Level 10 or Powerhouse Racing. Even the Level 10 and Powerhouse upgrades for the Toyota trannies still have lots of problems. They don't last like the domestics.

[OneSlow5pt0]

yea,i like my auto and when i get a my C4 Corvette its going to be a auto too
