He had me off the line but once he hit 3rd I "zoom zoomed" past him and won him by at lest 2 car lengths.... in the 1/4 mile of corse

 

Oh I forgot to mention, IT WAS A MANUAL CRX Ya thats right Autos rule

 

That's why they made autos...for non racers
Not everyone can be a racer...
i'm a stick shift freak. i love racing. In fact i wish i could be a formula 1 racer...but i dont got connections...or a European family that will adopt me to become one

 

Funny...

 

oh please dont even get started on this
there are tons of racers that are auto and I know of a couple that would hand any manual there *** and MUST drag cars are auto

 

hey, i love manual transmission cars, the response is a lot better and it gives the driver the control he or she may desire. but my automatic eases my mind, i mean, i'm not the most hand eye co-oridinated individual in the world, but having to use both of my feet to accelerate through gears, needing to use one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the shifter basically defeats the purpose for me driving at all. when i drive, i love to cruise and relax, smoke a cigarette, juice up the stereo, etc. and not have to worry about jerkin a shifter around. but to each his own. my automatic whips the pants off any 3 cylinder geo out there and at least 1 5 cylinder volvo station wagon
peace

 

Tru, there are a lot of automatic drag cars out there. Also basically anything you can do to an manual, you can do to an auto.


I drive a auto also, for the time being, but lets face it. AUTOs SUCK ***. They are no fun at all. That is why I'm swapping mines out in the next couple months. I HATE autos with a passion. I love driving my friends cars. I'm like the only on with an auto.

 

Hey you drive a manual and you steer an auto !!! lol

 

Most real race cars have a kinda auto/manual. You push a button to shift gears, no clutch or nothing. It's an air shifter. But if i was gonna go all out racing i would definately wanna do it with an auto. The time between shifts is a lot quicker. You just gotta change the chip or whatever to the tranny to shift at different rpms, but if you could do that an auto would own a manual. Well thats just my opinion anyway. Autos aren't made to waste gas, and shift at redline, they conserve it.

 

autos use more gas than manual. And some auto cars when floored do in fact take it to their redlines, but not all, as i mentioned "some" just to clear up future discretions In all seriousness, if racing was just putting one foot on a pedal and having two hands on a steering wheel, then where's the skill? That means any ol' granny can do that...maybe that's why they developed auto transmission...for um....the less skilled or those who recline their seats way the hell back like their sleeping in their car....Whatever, all I know is I'm pretty damn good at shifting, and I wish i could prove it somehow other than the occasional street race. Oh well, later.

 

You can...AutoX

 

dude sorry but if there was a clone of my car and everything was the same except for the tranny....it was an auto......i would kill it.....

if i find out somebody wants to race me with an auto it gives me the upper hand...

i don't see how anyone who knows how to drive a manual could pefer an auto in a race....

I bet you wont see any pro mods or top fuels that are stick shift. I f I like my dad were driving a 1300 hp blown alcohol w/ the hat (buzzard catcher) small block 400, I sure would not want to jank with a clutch.
