Poll! Manual Vs. Auto

[jaxle]

only good autos are atleast 5 speed sport trannies, otherwise autos are fucking terrible and will never get you a win, easy or otherwise...unless ur racing a geo or stock civic like mine,hehe

Where I live, none of the racers know how to snapchange properly, so everytime they push their clutch to change gear, I leave them behind.

But every once in a while, some guy does know how to snapchange, and then we stay nose to nose till the next light.:smoker:

some guys get upset when they see they've been spanked by an auto

Auto's suck. I drive a 2nd Gen CRX, Im slower than 3rd gen's. I once went for a cruise and there was a guy with an AUTOMATIC (shock they DO exist!!!!) 3rd Gen. Was so slow it hurt.

its a Saturn SL2, why u gotta BLOW UP MY SPOT!!!!!:finger: well, anyways, its a DOHC Sport model 4door........ its actually pretty quick, i raced my boy in his 99 civic LX 4door and whooped his ass!! lol, but still its a Saturn......... But i must say its built pretty well for an American car..... and there is this winding noise that comes out of the engine bay when i accelerate and it sounds like a turbo spooling, and i fool people who are retarded that know shit about cars and make them think its a turbo. ANd i press the PWR button and tell em its Nitrous, lol, what retards.........

Usually when people are talking about this subject they say "Oh I don't know how to drive a stick" When someone asks me about it I say "Yea, I don't know how to drive an automatic"

Unless I'm so old I don't have enough strenth to push the clutch in and my arthritis is so bad i can't grip the knob, I'll always have a stick.

i have an auto 89 crx
i can beat my friends 88 crx dx when we raced, but that could be an issue of his driving
i'm not too into racing or anything, i drive day to day and i like being able to relax with my auto,
if i wanted fun and power, no shit i would say stick is the way to go
if i get a second car, like for winter or something, totally stick

Lets put this shit to bed right now....

I dont think there is ONE person running a HONDA slushbox in the pro import drag ranks right now.

If someone knows different, prove me wrong. Honda autos are garbage for power, they have enough trouble running the stock motors.

I dont really think the whole "shift on boost" arguement really holds up because of the drivetrain loss. Any one who is running forced induction should know where to shift their manual to stay in the powerband. If you dont, your a stupid fuck that that doesnt deserve turbo.

Autos are for lazy people and grandparents (and people who plan on going 5speed when they get the $$)

I think all cars should be manual. Then people wouldnt have time to do stupid shit like put on makeup, talk on the phone, or read books. I hate auto cars. :finger:

[MyFirst4G]

well, i can drive stick, shift gears, be on the phone, smoke a cigarette and drive perfectly, although i can't turn my head due to the phone on my shoulder, but i can still drive......

whats with all these old polls being brought up...

[tsears]

What exactly is this "snapchanging" thing?

[D15Bitch]

Some guys manage to "snap" the manual gear into the next gear without stepping on the clutch first, but timing is essential. Lotsa guys here in South Africa learned to do it first on the old 1500 Nissan Langleys.

Some guys can do it with other cars, but it is risky, getting stripped boxes and all...
