[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

[Luciano13]

For the record, I love auto!
The only reason I bought my Z is because it was Canadian model(as I live in Canada)
A 40th anniversary fully loaded with every possible option available at the time for our cars.

U don't believe me.............. just ask my wife!! 4 years+ and she still hounds me that its manual

Guys...........listen to your wife if you want to buy cars

[Luciano13]

better yet...........
listen to your wife if you want to modify your cars

Understand how a torque converter works and you will answer your question. Automatic transmission w/ converter is not to be confused with an auto-shifting dual clutch manual - that would beat a manual shift manual transmission every time.

Especially when you tune the line pressures in the 7AT trans. Quick, Solid shift..

Just because you use facts doesn't mean you're right!

sorry buddy. sometimes you just gotta let the facts and figures beat out people hard on for a manual transmission lol

it's 2015 and the MT is no longer the dominant factor in a performance car and people just cant handle it.

Has the automatic transmission changed since 2009?

not that i'm aware of no. the only thing that may have changed is the TCM tuning from factory.

but any person tuning your car with uprev can adjust the tranny line pressure settings to make shifts harder.

I'm firmly in the manual camp as far as preference and don't ever plan on buying an auto. That said, if a manual was faster around a road course, F1 would still be using one. Granted they aren't slush boxes, but Formula 1 started dropping regular H pattern manuals in 1989. As far as a drag race goes, who gives a crap how fast a car is in a straight line.

AT drivers dont like facts....that is why they tried to hide the poll that began this thread when they started to fall behind in the poll....You can tell they can not state their side well because they are starting to call names........Like QUEERS

a. you have it backwards. I gave facts and the MT faithful got mad because they have nothing. well they have CSC failure but hey don't want to take any low blows.

b. queer isn't name calling unless it's referring to you blowing dudes. do you know what the definition of queer is my friend? if not here's a refresher




Definition of QUEER


1
a : worthless, counterfeit <queer money>

b : questionable, suspicious

2
a : differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal

b (1) : eccentric, unconventional (2) : mildly insane

c : absorbed or interested to an extreme or unreasonable degree : obsessed

d (1) often disparaging : homosexual (2) sometimes offensive : gay 4b



i'll go with thinking that the MT is better than the AT in a Z is queer (mildly insane)

or that you're statements against the AT are queer (questionable, suspicious of your knowledge about the Z)

good day sir.

I will not argue with you.......you are the **** sucking expert !

again another fact for the AT side.



the fact that I just destroyed you with a dictionary definition rebuttal and all you can come back with is that I suck peep.......it's laughable at best.

run along my son. come back when you are ready to do battle.

for now

Pretty sure my next car is going to be a DCT flappy-paddle box.

I love my three pedals, but you just can't compete with the precision of a flappy-paddle box (at lest with a DCT).

That said, AT also never misses a shift.
