what would you rather drive/race auto or manual

[jonko]

what would you rather drive or drag

[excalibur]

depends on what sort of racing

drags = shift kitted auto/manualised auto
circuit= manual gearbox

so cant actually vote for any of them

[VNracer34G]

Regardless of number of gears or kind of racing MANUAL. A slushy might be slightly quicker in a drag car but seeing superstocks etc with manuals picking up the front wheels on each gearchange rocks.
I raced speedway last season with auto and this season i have converted to manual and even though once in race gear it stays there with the manual i have much better control and less parasitic power loss

[kalekale]

I never race and do heaps of city driving.. rather an auto. I picked shift kit auto because why not?

[50LTRv8]

The only thing about my VT I don't like is that the auto has trouble picking the right gear, i would prefer a semi auto like the falcon has for a daily.

[jonko]

changed to just drive now not race

[Rolla_Rolla']

Manual all the way, auto, is for lazy people

[VKCOMMO]

MANUAL, you are really controling the car, not just planting the foot

[ryno_vrx]

^^^i'm lazy so i picked auto

[Reaper]

Around town: Std Auto
Weekend car: 4/5/6sp manual
Drags: Kitted/stalled auto (assuming I'd ever bother)
Circuit racer: 5/6sp manual.

Not fussed either way. I like the 6 speed manual, very nice to drive but i still would've bought the car if it was an auto.

[jonko]

oh cool i like all the votes keep em coming people

[jonko]

i see alot of people like 5 speeds

[thedeadwalk]

Around town: Auto
Weekend car: 4/5/6/7sp manual
Drags: 2sp powerglide
Circuit racer: Semi-automatic with failsafe clutch

[STEALTHY™]

Manual for everything (6 speed please)

[jonko]

i donno how to change poll so there 6 speed in there as well

[maldotcom2]

5 speeds are great but if i worked in the city i'd go with standard auto for sure.

[jonko]

cool as ive got an auto now thinking of getting it shift kitted

[ari666]

silly silly poll. dunno why i voted. of course 5 speed, but if your talkin straight line 1/4 mile then shift kitted auto.

but you didnt specify, so 5 speed it is.

[jonko]

ok its drag race drag racing

[VZnewbie]

6 speed manual is wear its at!!! haha love mine!

[old mate]

its a manual or nothing for me.

[stroked]

Been driving manuals ever since I got my licence so I'd have to say that a standard auto would be great to drive everyday and a manual would be my choice for the weekend car.

[ari666]

hey, you forgot the ol' 3 speed crunch boxes... i love those. 3 on the tree baby!!!

(i woulda voted for that)

[jonko]

didnt even think of the ol' 3 on tree but ya dont really see them any more any way LOL
