What would win??

[StYLeZzZ]

u guys do know that the 93's didn't come with a rev-limiter.. right?... that thing that doesn't limit high RPM.. i believe..

The auto would probably be a little quicker, but where's the fun in an automatic? LOL.

I would eat shit and die before buying an auto Supra.

Are we talking stock transmissions? A modified auto trans will be quicker than a standard H gate manual in the 1/4 mi because it can shift quicker. However if we are talking modified transmissios an air shifted manual or sequential dog box would have an edge. They use an electronic ignition cut instead of the clutch when shifting. Giving shifts that are just as quick giving the edge back to the manual. The other option is slam shifting. Rev out the engine and slam into the next gear without using the clutch. It is extremly hard on the entire drivelie, and requires a fair bit of pratice to find the correct RPM at which to shift. I do not recomend it, but I do know some guys that can do it. The shifts are so violent that traction loss is a big issue. Final answer: standard H gate shifter VS auto on the dragstrip....auto usually wins.

Ask yourself this: Which car has the better rear end gearing?

[4cd30l]

i have a auto 1987 stock and its beats a manual 1989 turbo both same boost and i get him by about 1/2 a car lenght over the 1/4 and he is not the worst at driving a stick out does me by far but still all depends on the box and how the boost is set to run in your car even though the auto looses rwhp in the drive train the fact that it holds boost whilst changing is enough to make the diffrence back

That's all well and good. And I do appreciate your video about trying to settle it. But it doesn't really prove anything. I would hope a manual car would beat a auto car from a roll. What the disscussion was about is who would win from a dead stop. I enjoy highway racing when it's a safe as can be but it all comes down to who wins from a stop.

uhh, all drag cars use auto boxes. There is a reason why you know

Do the 93+ supras have the option to manual shift an auto tranny like the older supras?

[sellicah]

i heard the fastest street legal supra was a twin turbo AT, i also heard that an AT tranny is better with the twin turbo because it handles the boost better or something like that??? Is this true?

[flyinMKIV]

don't know where you heard that one, the fastest street supra to my knowledge is Marko D. Who drove his car out to the track and ran a 8.45 @ 162 something in the 1/4 and then drove his car home. But I could be mistakened

ROFL!! oh god thats funny. alot of drag cars use manuals over automatics. though at's do have their advantages.

[sellicah]

was it a legal supra though?

[flyinMKIV]

perfectly street legal, but this is a dead issue, everyone has their own thoughts on the matter. But only a few have an open mind about it.
