manual or bust

Dis. man. Speks. truth.

man, we can make a decent thread no matter what the op ever says.

Its fun like banging your fat gf through a hole in a sheet. That way you can pretend she's attractive and so you don't see the lard tsunami action.

I guess either way it's just a positive frame of mind.

The only cars I would seriously consider with an auto are those with an Asin tranny. They seem to have very good ratings compared to ZF. Not perfect, but b/c they are an Asian company, I think they are decent

I'm probably one of the few on here that don't mind automatics... And no, i'm not kidding.

fuck a manual when your sitting in LA traffic.... Or its a class A truck.... shifting is for the track only in my mind anymore, nothing worse than having a sore left knee just because your trying to get anywhere.

Sore left knee? I haven't experienced that since I discovered Hydraulic clutches. Puck clutches help too, learn to drive it and it is no harder than a stock clutch. Plus you only have to pivot your foot to release it rather than a full throw.

That's a good point. I myself have a bad left hip and on the days it acts up, I'm just wishing to get out of the vehicle to relax. It doesn't matter about the pedal pressure either, it the movement of it and me sitting there that gets me.

I think a dual clutch automatic transmission with a "clutch" pedal and a shift knob as an option would be sweet. Then you can choose between automatic (but still lightning fast shifts) and "manual". It would be interesting to see it in a real world application.

As long as the engine has some torque to pull the car/truck along. I'm pretty content. Unless it's gutless like a 1.3 Festiva or some other torqueless thing.

Just saw this, and QFT.

It's funny, if you take a POS 4 cylinder and throw an auto at it, the manual will win every time.
Now take a engine that makes respectable numbers, and the line gets blurry.

Still, I enjoy a manual just for the driving experience. BUT, I wouldn't mind a DSG gearbox that gives me full control.

Although:

I completely understand that, sometimes you just have to go with what is comfortable for you. BUt then again, you are into v-8's so the above works in your favor. ;)

At first when driving someones automatic car, my left foot freaks out looking for a clutch to press when I brake haha. I don't think I'll ever buy another auto, at least until I'm sick of manual or my body can't take it anymore.
