Gerrr. It was cars, not cards. Love writing on my DROID phone.

 

You can launch a standard at a higher rpm and automatic transmissions use HP to work resulting in higher drivetrain loss. If the guy in the standard knows what he is doing he should win

 

Key is if he or she is great. They got to be on his or her game with the stick. Just one missed gear and the stick is done. Or short or too long shift. But really what are we talking about in time. Half of a tenth or maybe one tenth. Lol

 

Right lol. I enjoy the old school feel

 

Truth be told, my wife didn't want stick and unless I wanted to live in my new pony car I was getting auto and that was that. Lol

 

STIKE
Ranger - 5sp stick
SVT Focus - 6sp stick
Boss 302 - 6sp stick.

 

Stick is more fun but auto is faster

 

The only time I wish I had auto is in stop n go traffic.

 

I'd say that is a false statement. Auto is more consistent yes, however due to drivetrain loss it will never be faster. It's popular at the drag strip because of its consistency, and it's unpopular at the road course due to the driver not being able to select whatever gear he wants.

 

There is a statement that is factual!

 

That's 2 years of highschool auto and 1 year of college being put to use right there

 

Stick is a absolutely faster on a road track course because of all the downshifting you can do with it. But many times people miss and skip gears. human error and the auto hits the gears every time. Perfect, therefore overall faster on a more consistent basis

 

Auto is for old people, the disabled, and everyday drivers
That is the reason hardcore mustangs are not offered in auto, like the boss or Shelby, or any cobra

 

And you forgot wives who refuse to learn stick. Lol

 

Or a my fiance that thought she would try and the cobra ended up in a barb wire fence!

 

Time to trade her in and get a newer finance. Lol

 

Until you let off the gas in a turn and the tranny decides to shift up. You waste just as much time getting the tranny to kick back down as you do picking the right gear in a manual.

 

Pics of the Fiance or the fence??

 

Lol you have seen the fiance and ill have to take pics of the fence.

 

auto all the way unless my honey learns how to drive a manual shift car
