#1583, "Why do the manuals think we are such a joke." Jul-19-03 07:27 PM by amljbs
I get so sick of people saying oh your auto you are slow as shit. I have proven to several manuals around here that our shitty little autos can tear their asses up but so many on this board think we are a joke. They have no advantage over us with the mods we have for our tranny excpet for being able to launch much faster. After the initial jump we have the advantage. What do we have to do to get some respect.
Sorry guys just venting and you all are the only ones who would care

we dont have the ability to downshift and go as quickly as a manual...
so, basically around town they do have an advantage... downshifting is the r0x0r.
the off the line problem can be solved with a higher stall TQ converter. we still wont be able to downshift like a manual though. thats just the way it is.

5-speeds are much more fun to drive, but what's great about an automatic is as your blazing by some v8 you can be chompin down on your Crispy Chicken Sandwich to make him that much more embarassed.

Who cares what people on this board say!? You should've seen the look on this guy's face the other day when I whooped his ass driving with my knee, eating a sandwich with one hand, smoking with the other at about 120mph. Priceless! Upgrade your TC, add a turbo, and you'll significantly improve your performance.
