automatic vs. manual

[SRV BOY]

Have u fags(newbies) even driven standard before, let me refraze, do u even know how to drive standard? Which gear is most powerful, which gear is the fastest? Can u even speed shift?? I doubt you newbies can answer any of that ur too busy riding ur auto up ur ass!!!!

[crxlvr]

why did everyone have to turn this thread to shit, this was a great tech article and now it worthless, cuz you 13 year olds gotta cry about whats better.

give it a rest.

[SRV BOY]

Wow 5 year olds like urself can't answer the question, you know why because u dont no shit about standard. Why dont you go look up the answer somewhere on the internet and get back to me rookie

Thanks to the few people who gave an educated response to my question. As to the rest of you I never said that automatics were better. I'll be the first to tell you that a stock manual is faster than a stock automatic for obvious reasons. However, this car will be my daily driver while I'm at college on a very crowded campus, and I was just curious what the power difference would be between an automatic with an upgraded torque convertor and a stock manual. My intentions aren't to race just to enjoy my ride. So if anyone has any more information that's pertinent to my question I would appreciate your response.

Exactly. no one said an auto was better. So just shut up and hope you dont get banned.

Sry, crxlvr, I usually don't argue.......
juju4uofa, It;s up to you if you want a stick or an auto. They both have disavantges and advantges. Just do lil' research and make sure you are happy with your ride.

Lol u were trying to argue to me that auto was better and you still didnt answer my question newbie, there are a couple things that automatic losers have
1. no nuts
2. a pair hanging off their chest
3. thick glasses

ok SRV BOY and I have to emphasize BOY, I'll answer your question so you'll shut up.
Everyone knows that 1st gear has the most power. It usually has a 3:1 ratio and theirfore the most torque multiplication. 4th gear is the "fastest" in most cars because it's ratio is 1:1. Some cars can go faster in overdrive, but it all depends on the gearing, weight and power of the vehicle.

wrong... It is true in our hondas, only because honda doesn't make the most efficient autos. but some autos are faster.

look at mercedes for example their autos are proven to shift faster and more reliably than any standard being shifted by a human could be.

they only put a standard in the slk because it was wanted by the comsumer. look at all their other cars including the SLR, sl600, sl55 etc. all auto with manumatic. while they do have manumatic it is still essentially an auto.


anyway just because its a manuel doesn't always mean its faster than an auto.

[Tomsriv]

Right, but they do make shift kits for some cars. On older cars you would drill out a small hole in the valve body to increase the line pressure. In newer cars you often just change the chip so that the computer makes it shift harder. I was wondering if anyone makes shift kits for hondas. I looked for one for a Subaru WRX but I couldn't find any mention of one.

Fuck off noob. Just because you like blowing your stickshift off doesn't mean we want to do it to. I Know how to drive a stick but i prefer an auto beacuse I'm a lazy pot smoker. My auto redlines and gets me down the road quickly. Come race me when I get my motor in. Dick.

dont be pointing fingers now at one person
