Here's a question.....
How many guys pick MT vs AT in video games

jchammond · 02-21-2015, 05:08 PM

A/T is quicker.

Come on man, everybody knows that the AT in games is faster - most people who develop these games are in their early 20's and don't know how to drive an MT much less code it up properly - I'd be stupid if I didn't choose the AT there because I like to win when I play.

Everybody knows it's different in real life though.

Auto, less driver involving but has its perks.

Quit hating when the ECU is faster than human input. Auto's are the borg so resistance is futile.

If AT's are the borg, I'll take resistance every time.

I would have to pick auto since I don't have a wheel with a shifter ... or a wheel for that matter. Just the stupid joystick on the controller. Course this would imply that I play these games. Used to but life is kinda keeping me busy doing other things.

I have a 7 A/T with the sport package and I love it.
I do like manual but I also like the feel of the paddle shifters xD
(Also, less things to mod/upgrade) lol

I felt like giving all you homo's a break before coming back in and destroying you

JARblue · 02-23-2015, 09:49 AM

I would like to say that I made some concerted efforts as of late to try the fastest shift from 1-2 I could make. I've made probably 10-15 of them over the past few weeks.

One time only ... I felt like I had a shift that was reasonably close to the fastest shift I've experienced in the 7AT. I feel like the difference would have been negligible even on a drag strip (as there are other variables that would make more of difference in a single run). However, I am not consistent like the 7AT.

Oh and of course, I got pulled over on that run. The cop said he paced me at 76 mph when I shifted from 2nd to 6th at ~62 mph. Thankfully, his motorcycle takes video footage, which he reviewed and only gave me a warning when realized I did not continue accelerating beyond the speed limit.
