I still don't get it??? What's the reason to build an auto Ls car????? What about this vid can someone with a t56 not do?? I love manual trans cause no matter how badass your car is, its all about knowing how to drive it... Dosent take Much effort to do what you did OP smash the gas peddle.

what?
I dont think you have driven a high horsepower auto... and I dont care what ou say you have driven because its the interwebs. both auto and manual have there advantages and disadvantages.

you guys sound like bunch of ******* in the video. No one in the history of building cars unless its a serious drag or street car has ever taken the t-56 out of their vette and swapped with an a4..... and if you did swap it it would have been a th400 or something along those lines. no one is impressed.
Second, plenty of people pull manuals out and go to an auto setup.. Same goes for the Cobra guys.
I was impressed.

Ever driven an auto with over 400Rwhp on the street, let alone 600+? Is it as hard a manual, no. But an average joe is going to put it in a ditch.
Not only do they get **** done from a dig, traction is easier to come by.
Don't start this debate... Buy your manual cause you think it is more fun, cooler, want to impress the girls, etc etc... But being so biased as to say what can an auto do that a manual can't do. How many 3500# sub 400Rwhp manuals have you seen cut 1.4-1.5 short times? There is a reason autos dominate by a long shot on all of the record lists, hell even the highest RWHP list the autos dominate.

I love driving a manual car, but I don't kid myself; i know if I ever want to get serious about ET's or get into high RWHP figures I know that an auto will be my friend.
Not only are they better out of the hole and more consistent at the strip. The M6's are to expensive to maintain if your trying to drag race them with alot of power. The shock to the drivetrain and transmission is not worth the replacement cost just to try and prove a point.
The cost versus the abuse they see makes it a no brainier to switch to a more consistent, cheaper option. It's all in what your looking to do.
For me a H/C car that you take cruising around... M6 all the way, just because I enjoy rowing gears. Even my DD cobalt is a 5-speed just because it can be entertain sometimes when I'm in the mood to drive like Johnny Tran, this doesn't make me a 6-speed nutswinger though. The proof is in the numbers.
How many times will this topic be beaten into the ground?
Oh and "Holy ****" pretty much sums it up for that Porsche.

I don't get it???? All this guy has done to his car is intake and exhaust it's not a fn 600whp car. How does it take effort not to put it in a ditch??? Lemons?? Second all I said was why I liked manual more and I'll say it again it dosent matter how good a car is/rated its how we'll it's driven. If you can't drive/shift for **** you go nowhere. 2nd I think he's ignorant for the **** he sais on the video and as a response talking about slapping people.

but seriously. clearly words arnt getting through. so before you get all
about your very special unique ability to
and start talking **** on autos, we all know the real reason that you are
is because an auto car with a high stall did this to you
but in the end bra, its all ok because
lolz. but really both are nice. its the idiots that drive them that are the real problem. however i prefer auto due to its consistency at the drag strip and on the street, plus a high stall makes it a deal breaker.
high stall+built motor+auto+not having to miss a shift=win all day.

6-speed cars can launch well at the tack, people have done it. It is however, alot harder to whoop *** on the street from a dig with a M6. Look at it this way, why carry a heavy TV up stairs when you can take the elevator?
Again, its relative to what your looking to do with the car. No one is hating on your because you like to shift gears. Alot, of manual guys just preach this "automatics are gay and for pussies" ****.

How about my old car? It would fish tail at 40-50mph and still kick out from 55-60. How many people do you think could have half *** launched that car from anything under 20mph?
It is fine if you like manuals more, it is all opinion. But you were being a tard in the first post.
IMO manual blow dick.. They are fun to drive every once in a while but thats where it ends for me. I like having stupid 60's, pulling the tires, being consistent, not asking for a rematch cause I missed a gear, etc etc... I also think a large stalled auto is way more fun than a manual.
All opinion... Fact? As far as racing goes, autos bitch slap manuals.

Because, an automatic doesn't make a care more tame. Just more consistent and better suited for dig racing.

more like 345ish RWHP it's a STOCK motor and the converter eats up alot of power, weighs 3550 with two people in it(300lbs) and a full tank of gas. I have sub amp etc etc. its a fun street car that gets beat on 88% of the time the clutch went and that alone is roughly $2000 when all said an done so instead of putting a clutch in it I did the smartest thing for myself.

2000$ for a clutch?
