[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread
 

Not really. Presto is all talk:stirthepot:

I have a 2014 MT and my CSC failed at 23k miles and Nissan doesn't want to cover it so
MT > AT bc I'm not a pansy...

23k already??


-Raj

It was cool to have a VCR in the early 80s but, that time is long past also!

Yeah bro it's my daily!

Nice bro


-Raj

Speaking of pansy and automatic transmission, that phone number is from a unisex salon here in NJ. Don't believe me, Google it. 201-432-6655

Auto vs mt doesn't make a difference to me. Have both.
But you spend enough money on any car and it will do 8 sec in the 1/4.
Drag racing has always been for automatic because its easier not shifting yourself.

So what you are saying is autos are better right?

i do believe he is :stirthepot:

I think you guys need to retake first grade reading comprehension :rolleyes:

I believe he was saying manuals are better than auto on the track. Wouldn't you agree Jarblue:stirthepot: :)


-Raj

no, i just want tigger to come in and see it lol

100% in a 1/4 drag, auto is the ultimate best. No one can argue that.
Road course, manual is 100% the ultimate best. No one can argue that.

Ok I can't argue with you. I'll take that


-Raj

I would argue with you, but I happen to agree with you :icon17:

Why is a faster shifting car not something you want on a road course? I enjoy gaining on other cars as let of the gas to shift.

No need to let off the gas with flat foot shifting :tup:

Of course... still kinda waiting on Ecutek for that one :wtf2: At least there are videos that the feature actually exists.

Get the same skilled driver in both auto & manual.... Road course he will be faster in manual. That's a fact:driving:

Ok, in all honesty I have a manual, but if the Z had the GTR's transmission I wouldn't hesitate to get the auto.


-Raj

Bottom line right here....
1/4 mile equals the fastest shifts = auto
Road course has nothing to do about fastest shift, but shifting at the right rpms/time= manual

Most amateur drivers won't get the best time because they don't know how to operate it to its full potential though.


-Raj

This is true, however even an amateur will know to skip 2-3 gears to keep the rpms up..
. Auto won't do that. U get the same car, same driver, 3 laps in auto, 3 laps in manual.... Manual will always have the faster laps. And we're not debating an amateur vs a pro here. That's just stupid to even suggest that. Same car, same driver, skilled driver....
1/4 = auto
Road course = manual.
Only someone that has no track experience will argue that fact. Not my facts.... Every professional out there uses auto for 1/4, manual for road course.

And for an other debate.....
AUTO IS ALWAYS BETTER FOR AMATEUR:tup:

Any of you in Florida? I'm willing to take that bet.

That's a long ways from me, I'm in SW Florida.

What's the bet:stirthepot:

That the MT is faster! I guess my car isn't a good car to compare because we have adjusted the 7AT and its supercharged, but I promise you can't shift that fast.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same car, same driver.....
1/4= auto
Road= manual

What is the bet??

I have no round track experience so I will step up and argue. Auto's are still better!! :stirthepot:

Found this hilarious.

Lets just think about your statement for a second...........??
flying hot into a corner ok?? you're at 150mph.....?
you need to drop your speed to 60mph......?

Here is the ultimate question.....???

Which transmission will get you there quicker..........??

1) hard breaking in an auto............???
2) hard breaking with hard down shifting in a manual...........???

The only ones that can answer this are the one's that have experienced this....

REMEBER...........
same car, same hp, same driver, auto vs manual:driving:

My car has been adjust to shift faster but is still stock.

I have never had a problem not getting down to the gear I wanted in a braking zone. It shift faster in the straight, so what is the advantage of a MT? You all seem to believe this so what can it do that the 7 AT doesn't ?

You just have better control over the RPM's in a MT car.
It's not always necessarily "faster" but you do tend to have better control over the car.

:tup:
im not doubting you brother whatsoever:tup:

this whole thread is about auto vs manual right??

Take a stock auto 370z vs a stock 370z manual around the track.....:hello:
manual will always be faster:tiphat:

we can all modify our beloved 370z to take out any car in the world, if we spend the dollars;)

same car, with same driver, with same mods, with same hp..............
1/4 mile= auto
road= manual

no one here can even say other wise.....
again, its not my info, not my facts, not my experience.........

just the facts of racing in even Steven's true world of racing.

I agree 100% if your car has been modified to shift faster, it will be quicker. But lets do the same for the manual so it shifts faster? You'll have no chance approaching the corners, and exiting the apex :driving:

stock vs stock:
1/4=auto
road=manual
:hello:

I would love to see that stock vs stock, I think it would really surprise you MT guys but I could be wrong. I track with one of my life long best friends who has a 01 Z06 that is supercharged and 455whp/ 451 tq the runs away from my car, the only place he's impressed with the Z is when we are shifting.

Again......................

Same car, same driver, all stock...........manual wins every time:driving:
Unless the driver cant' drive manual:stirthepot:
