Positronic Transmission...

Some kid starts talking about this transmission type called Positronic like it was something different from automatic or manual...

Do these even exist?
If they do what in the hell are they?

I did a google (http://www.google.com) search....

umm sci-fi, brain, signals, robots, star trek, ect, ect..

mabey he ment something like positraction?

even then, positrac is a differential type

A positron is an anti-electron (positively charged electron). They are used quite often in colliders.

Smack your friend over the head and tell him we do not make transmission out of antimatter for obvious reasons.

The transmission he was most likely referring too was the tiptronic transmission as called by Porsche which is just an auto transmission that with manually controlled shift points.

I'd reprimand him fully if he wasn't some trash talkin' kid on the internet...

Same kid who talked about a Celica GTS-X which was an AWD 3.8l car that could out-accelerate a ninja motorcycle... the kid just screamed "I'm full of shit" and just kept dodging my requests for links and started talking about old corollas and giving me a history lesson on rotary engines :roll:

Thanks guys. :bigthumb:

No problem. And if that guy is here on AF just post some links because it would be interesting to see his BS

It wasnt on AF, but it was on the forums for a new MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game) and he used a car analogy with so many false comments I had to thrash him... I will now quote every wrong thing he said...

It's kind of like having a stick shift positroic transmission car with all wheel drive. Great for off-roading as well as commuting to work on the highway, as well as driving in the city. Instead of having 1 off road vehicle. 1 vehicle with an automatic transmission for pure city driving. 1 vehicle with stick shift for highway driving (gets the most millage over automatics.)

As we've already discussed... positronic transmissions dont exist. Commuting to work and driving in the city? I was under the impression that AWD was a hassle compared to others (rwd, fwd) to drive in a city setting... I could be wrong though. That and AWD eats gas like nothin (or so I thought)

BTW, AWD is not only for rally (off road), and just bad weather. Though it is the best choice for that.
AWD has been successfully proven to dominate 2 WD (RWD and FWD) in the sports car market.
Every hear of the Toyota Celica GTSX??
In Japan they have it in FWD. It is illegal to import it, or drive it, anywhere else in the world. The thing out accelerates all contenders. It's too darn quick. People still import them and drive them in other countries, but it's very, very, rare. In the USA one is more likely to see one (at a red light heheh.) in Florida.
There are also FWD sedans that take advantage of being FWD by having all four wheels steer the car at the same time, especially on turns.
Mercedes and Jaguar are two of the most well known names to have it.
Some japanse cars have it too.

A Toyota Celica GTSX with AWD, and a 3.8 L engine will out accelerate a Mustang with 2WD, and a 5.0 L engine, a Corvette, a Mitsubishi 3000, a Fararri, Lambourghini, and a Lotus. And leave them in the dust before it can shift into 2nd gear.
(Of course much later on they will catch up after the Celica reaches top speed and can't go any faster.)
No matter if both are stick shift, automatic, or positronic transmissions.


:lol: where do I start?
If AWD was proven to dominate in the sports car market... then why are there still RWD and FWD sports cars? You'd think the car companies would catch on if this was a "proven fact". AWD's been proven to dominate in the Rally car dept... RWD in track... with FWD being for those who like it.

The kid interchanges AWD and FWD like it's the same thing, and like we've said...Celica GTSX doesn't exist.. and it certainly wouldn't exist with a 3.8l engine... I won't even mention the fact that he forgets a 3kgt is a piggy ass car and a Lotus is used for touring, not dragging :lol:

And your not a true car buff/car nerd if you have never heard of a positronic transmission nor know what it is or does LOL.


=======================

Nissan was Datsun. Datsun got all it's technology from the Toyota Carona. Then Datsun drifted more towards sports car market. Toyota stayed more with the family/sedan market.
"Major motion from Datsun!" used to be the popular TV ads for Datsun.
Datsun then later changed its name to Nissan.

You might like Nissan better than Toyota, but Toyota is far, far, far, far, more successfull. Toyota Camery, Toyota Celica have all been best sellers. Nissan's best seller has been the Maxima. Good car, but it has never outsold the Camery.

========================

The AWD or 4 WD Toyota Celica GTSX is a production sports car that can out accelerate a Ninja motorcycle. I am not taking about drag racers here. You don't see the idea behind it mass marketed for the same reason the superior Wankel Rotery Engine is not mass marketed. Lazy companies. Companies would rather get by with cheaper products and not push the envelope.

It is illegal to import this car, for the same reason the 454 is has been illegal to be further produced in the USA for over 20+ years.

- It would force other car makers to stop dragging their feet if more customers had access to such a superior sports car.

Heck, the Wankle technology is over 50 years old. All the success Mazda had SHOULD have been in the USA with any American car maker. Since the Americans confiscated German research and technology LOL.
Again, lazy companies who'd rather put out 4th rate products at easy profit.

I guess no one here is a car buff eh? We must know jack about cars :rolleyes:

Blatant misspellings of the Camry and Carina

Not illegal to import any car... illegal to drive them without compliance...

I don't need a history lesson on mazda when I'm owning you kid, give it up.

Strictly your opinion.
According to Mr. Reality, the Celica line is one of the best selling Sports car lines.
Also there are different model Celicas. From "wimpiest" to highest - the ST, GT, GTS, and super-rare GTSX.

:lol: :loser:

The newst model Celica (with the futuristic look designed by a California company) with it's 6 speed manual transmission blows away the MR-2. It is also on par with the now ancient Supra.
:lol: I don't see people tuning Celicas to about 1000+ HP.

If it's not on the internet it doesn't exist?
LOL!
Get off your bum and drive down to your local Toyata dealer.
Say "I've heard there is a rare Celica made with AWD that's made only for the Asian market. Is this true? Does it really exist?"
"By the way, have you guys heard of a Positronic transmission? What does it do? How does it work?"

Next drive down to any Mercedes dealer. (Mercedes has the best, most well known, most well tested Positronic transmissions). And ask them about their Positronic Transmissions.

Why would I ask a local toyota or mercedes dealer in kentucky about such things when I have you guys? :evillol:

The Corolla is now the Chevy Nova
And the Camry blows away the Corolla. It is far larger, has more options, and is more powerful. The Camry is actually a lesser Celica! Almost the exact same engine!

Got yer terms backwards there bud, the Corolla is the sportier Camry... and the lesser Celica...

It is your opinion that Skylines "are the most coveted sports car ever"
Pull up in a 454 and the Skyline will be completly ignored by everyone.
The split rear window Corvett Stingray comes closer to being "the most coveted sports car ever."


(note: I said one of the most, not the most)
A skyline would be ignored by everyone... It is by my opinion, unless it's some redneck import hater who doesn't know what kind of power the skyline - everyone's gonna be gawking over this RHD Japanese beast... not some honkey with a "no replacement for displacement" sticker on his bumper.

LOLOL! You are definatly not a true car buff/car nerd if you don't know the history of the Wankle Rotery Engine, and how it's what made Mazda soo big and famous. Or how the Wankle designes were FIRST available exclusivly to the USA after WW II, and for over 25 years afterwards, before Mazda even existed.

US car makers ignored it in favor of dragging their feet, putting out the same old same old for cheaper costs.

Thus, the USA should have had all of Mazda's success. All Mazda did is say "Hmmm.... look at this! The Wankle Rotery Engine is far superiour to a regular Piston Engine! And no one else is using it. Not even US car makers who have had access to it for decades. why don't we use this well documented technology and make $$$ off it if the USA is too lazy to?"
Thus the success of the RX7, which paved the way for Mazda to gain further success with the rest of its line of cars.

Like I said kid, don't bring up off-subject things on the history of the fucking rotary engine when we're talking about your sorry BS. You are closer to being owned by the second.

Go to a Celica dealer. They know far more than any Celica "buff". They have full access to the entire Celica history.
Very few people outside of Japan and Asia even know that the 4WD/AWD Celica even exist.


Correct me if I'm a fucking retard, but if a beast like that existed - everyone who knew anything about import monsters would know about that car :rolleyes:

I fully agree the Nissan Skyline is a nice car. But it is a pure sports car. It serves 1 market. It likely comes in either stick shift or automatic. It very likely does not come in 4WD.

Kid just very blatantly told me he doesnt know what a Skyline is :loser:

Heheheh. Only Americans who believe French fries are made in France, believe the Corolla and Chevy Nova are not the same car.
Oh it gets better. Did you know the Dodge Colt and Mitsubishi Mirage are the exact same car?

Belive what you want. Park a Celica next to a Camry. Pop the hoods.
Everything underneath is 98% the exact same.
Just the chassis and some options are different.

1. 454's that were made before the US goverment passed a law making it illegal to make MORE of them, ARE legal to drive.
Just like American cars made without seatbelts ARE legal to drive.
Just like all cars made with wrap around tinted windows from the factory(Driver's side as well as windshield) are legal and one will win in court if a cop gives a ticket for them.

2. The 454 engine comes with a car not by itself LOL. One of the most famous production cars ever made.
It is illegal to make MORE 454 engines, or MORE 454 cars.

3. A stock 454 engine that then gets modified for a few hundred bucks (by simply boring the cylinders) would destroy the most tricked up Skyline which needs thousands of bucks to be even more modified even more.

Ownage time.

First off... The Corolla and the Nova aren't the exact same car? Know why? Different makers. They may use the same base engine (which I'm not sure if they do or not) but it's not the same car... you said it yourself kid theres a Corolla and then theres a Nova. Same goes for whatever else he just said.

:rolleyes:
Right, so that means that an Eclipse GSX is the same car as an Evo... or better yet. A Plymouth Fucking Laser is the same car as an Evo :rolleyes: :loser:

The 454 is an engine, not a car jackass. You've just told me you know absolutely jack about what you're talking about. A stock 454 could destroy the most tricked up Skyline... riiiight. If any of you could tell me...doesn't a Skyline R34 run mid to high 12s stock? Along with the fact that it's very easily modified?

(note: Everything I said here is a condensed version of what I said to him, so no use in quoting the whole thing)

I have to say this kid is completely owned, along with the fact that with that retort he refused to pursue the subject further.

LOL very good read. That kid is the biggest idiot ever.

Tell him to go to the closest super collider and tell them about positronic trasmisions. Maybe the physicist there will beat him to death
