auto vs manual debate

[STEALTHY™]

No-one is comparing f1 to a street car.


Might aswell just leave it there guys, you 2 love auto, most other people love manual. We can sit here all day and argue, but in the end were both right

Why would the thread get locked, are we not discussing something of common interest between Commo lovers about cars?

because auto vs manual threads have been done 100 times before. All 100 are now locked

Good for you. I don't like both. I hate auto with a passion Like i said, anyone says there car runs 'xx:xx' doesn't mean crap to me unless they swapped the gears themselves.

Agree agree agree, that is an art, go kart racing is an art, racing in general is an art, not JUST being able to drive a manual. My grandma drive a manual car, no really!! lol

can she rev match? heel toe? use the right gear at the right time? shift fast?
its more than just a pedal and a stick. autos are for drag racing and heavy traffic. manuals are for everything else

We'll leave it there then, when you spend time with serious strip cars, you'll have a different opinion that xx:xx doesn't mean **** without swapping gears. getting to the other end in one piece is an art!

lol its not that hard to slot the car into gear in a manual anyways. first too second is easy enough, and with a ripshifter hitting third isnt all the hard either. the reason serious racers drive auto is simply because its faster.

lol, i daily drive with a HD clutch. If SA ever gets a drag strip i'll race it manual too. So i have to disagree.


Although i view things differently to most. The people who say i ran a 10 in full street trim, and had slicks, and a half stripped interior are just amusement for me Full street trim is how you drive it to work.

Manuals are good in small Displacement, Turbo cars.
Because they're too gutless to spin an auto and still be entertaining.
Boot a decent V8 in the arse, and keep it in a straight line as it bangs into 3rd. Puts a nice smile on your face I can tell you
