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.

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.

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:

[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

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.

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.

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:
