I didn't say that a manual car is always faster than an automatic, I said that I think a true sports car has a manual transmission. Don't put words in my mouth you clown

Why do you have to resort to name calling?

Go walk in a Mercedes Benz dealership and count how many manual transmission AMG sport cars you'll see in there.

Yes, that's just your opinion. Don't forget to add the disclaimer.


A buddy ran a 13.9 @ 109mph in his bone stock auto MKIV Supra 2 years ago. That was on street tires. The 60 foot was terrible. 2.6-2.7 IIRC.

but a true sports car always has a real manual transmission
Sure sounds like you were pretty definitely there.

What makes you think that a Typhoon isnt a sports car? Just because it have 4 doors? Not the turbocharged motor under the hood? They're fast, handle great and are a hoot to drive. You sure have alot to learn boy.

So a SLR and a SL55 isnt a true sports car? What about a Enzo? They use paddel shifters are they not true sports cars.


Supras that a are auto will wipe the floor with a 6speed,it takes one hell of a driver and a 2 step with antilag at a certain point to get a supra to launch well.

Typhoon's only have 2 doors,they handle and brake like a school bus.They are not sports cars,which is why I love mine.The police do not even notice it,ever.

Ok, well I don't think a Typhoon is a sports car either, but you don't have to call people names.

I think (and most of the forums as well agree) youre an inbred hick who wouldnt know a real sports car if it came up and reduced you to red paste. But thats just the truth of it.

The truth of it is that you are a stupid ricer and you don't have a clue.

Keep it up and get yourself banned again. We all got a good laugh out of that.

Youre the ******* claiming that autos arent sports cars at all.

Talk about a hypocrite. You say I'm going to get banned, yet you go and call me a "*******". You should have been permanently banned a long time ago, you must be trolling under the mod's radar

I said its my opinion that a real sports car has a manual (whether it be sequential or traditional) transmission, if you don't agree then thats too bad for you. Grow up and get over it riceboy

Would his car still be "faster" if I threw a turbo, drag slicks, and 4.10 gears on my LS1?? The answer is no, XakEp is a stupid ricer.

It you threw a turbo and slicks on your LS1, his car would still probably be faster. You would have to (Build the **** out of it, run a lot of boost, blah, blah, blah)
