Forgot To Say That I Love Manual Tranny!!!
Lol!

[logik23]

Stick is on it's way out because of stupid ass lazy rich people. Automatic cars are boring as fuck compared to standard. Fuck, this pisses me off because I'm only now entering the car world and stick is on it's way out, I wish I was 17 4-5 years ago!

orestes does have a point though. why do you think WRC cars dont use manual trannys anymore?

[orestes]

bro, its all about paddle shifters


i mean come on seriously i absolutely love paddle shifters
and yes i can drive a damn stick shift fool! i was just impressed with the M5, mostly by that F1 transmission and i think a 4WD car that will use that would be a cool car to drive. that is, if Nissan does decide to go that way.

why would you think i couldnt drive a stick?

[Pavlo]

No it won't be cool, skyline gt-r with automatic is just pure GAY!!! It's like putting a normal auto in the F1, it does not belong there. Automatics are for woman or old people.
Ohh and WRC and F1 have the most advanced tip-tonic tranies, they use them because at those speeds you need to concentrate and don't have time for anything else, plus you need to grip that steering wheel whith everything you have. If you race at speeds over 200mph then I understand you, if all you do is race for fun and just drive around you should not be permitted an automatic.

[logik23]

Why does everyone refer to race cars when it comes to automatics? THESE ARE STREET CARS!!!! 90% OF PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM WILL NEVER GO OVER THE SPEED LIMIT!!!! And it's not only the pussy-matic trannies, its all the electronic bullshit, people have no more control over the car anymore! There's like 12 different traction control things! WHY????

[D-Bo]

eeeeeeeasy now logik. we all understand your frustration but as long as women and old people are buying cars, there will be automatic. its a harsh reality we all have to deal with.

[logik23]

I don't mind automatic cars, what I hate is automatic performance/sports cars!!

[D-Bo]

true.. you know what i hate?? when its the winter. you know what i hate more?? when its -42°C outside with 2 feet of snow on the ground.

i've got a quick one for all you canadians..
whats long and hard on a canadian?

































the winter



HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[orestes]

actually F1 uses the transmissions they do because thats what they have come up with after years of research and millions of dollars. its been proven...quicker shifts, more power to the wheels...those are all good things IMO...

and i would hope the skyline gt-r will turn out to be closer to a race car than just a lazy street car for cruising, but who knows. i know if i were to buy one i would drive the living shit out of it, stickshift or not.

and just to clarify, the M5 transmission, and what i would hope for in the skyline, is far far away from an automatic. i mean they have an auto mode (M5 actually has five auto modes), but it is not automatic transmission - they just dont have a clutch pedal. bottom line, the way the SMG shifts ends up doing it much better than a human can, and it is going to be faster, bottom line.

[logik23]

Dude, wake up! there's 2 kinds of trannies!! Tranny with clutch=manual Tranny without clutch=AUTOMATIC

And F1 cars have auto because they are more efficient, street cars have autos because their owners are to fucking lazy.

And yeah, winter sucks, I could start my car last night and I had to move it for the parking signs....thank god I got someone to boost me or I was getting a parking ticket.

[Mediocrity]

Sequential Gearbox without a clutch is automatic?

Alright, buddy. Put it in sequential mode and not touch the shifter. See how fast you go.

Chill out. Don't buy one.

[logik23]

Dude, soon, I won't have a choice, that's all there is going to be! And yes, anything with an automatic mode is, duh, automatic!

Actually, it's a sequential manual transmission, like on a motorcycle. If you watch SPEED Channel, you will see that the drivers are still shifting like it's a manual tranny, but they only have to push the knob up or down.
