how shall we arrange this?

i drive both equally. im indifferent to the excel (manual), and the laser (auto) is just dull. When I drive my dad's auto though (commodore) it's like driving a fucking tank to me, so it's lots of fun. i suppose driving a sports car in manual would be even more fun, but i haven't done that so i can't compare.

hence, auto

Really???

DSG is technically twin manual gearboxes.

You're right

4.9 auto vs 5.1 man. How is this possible? Reality collapsing.

It wouldn't be relevant to regular non-performance cars fitted with torque converter equipped autos though hey?

cvt < torque converter auto < conventional manual < sequential manual < twin clutch/dsg auto

no?

Most autos lock the torque converter when not shifting now anyway, so they dont have any of the disadvantages autos used to have.

Manual, because:

- Its easier to maintain a constant speed, esp. downhill
- No need to ride brakes downhill
- Throttle response is FAR better, i.e. there is no micro-delay when you step on the pedal
- Superior reliability. If you don't mind double-clutching, you can make a manual gearbox last forever
- Less maintenance costs
- Cheaper to buy new
- More fun

I just switched from 2 years of exclusively driving a prehistoric manual car to a newer car, and the difference in the way you have to drive is massive.

.

I drive both, my dad has a manual mum has a auto which can be drivin manually through the steering wheel. Rather driving the sv6 though. Auto is too easy

I find it more thrilling to have to shift gears, turn the steering wheel, fire dozens of rounds from my Uzi outside my car window and reload.
Switching hands to perform other tasks are literally done in the blink of an eye.

I've found the oppppppposite to be true

With a manual tranny, you can drive until the gears disintegrate. If an auto starts messing up, i.e. stops upshifting properly etc you have no choice but to fix it.

If you add the clutch in the equation AND you drive hard, then yeah, you can be up for some expensive repairs. But that depends on the driver really.

I'm inclined to think it would vary considerably car to car and what type of auto. Some are considerably more complex/expensive than others (e.g. DSGs).

 

[jaredtomas]

Twin clutch = best.

 

[staticsiscool]

nah m8 triple clutch

 

[chlodogg]

[staticsiscool]

what is wrong with your face

Also AWD cars for example, are notoriously hard on clutches.

 

[Azamakumar]

granny shifting, not double clutching like you should....

 

[Riet]

Why would anyone be downshifting in a drag race?

 

[Azamakumar]

pros do it all the time u ponce
