Why the repetition? :mrgreen:

I'll take sloppy seconds.

fun to drive

tko is more then just swapping the trans-you need an aftermarket bellhousing, hydralic throwout and new clutch master cylinder,new crossmember and probably a new drive shaft..

ehhh that all right...i hate autos like you don't even know

i think u should buy my bird instead of this car yer lookin at.:nod:

Manuals usually trap higher, but autos are quicker......and ET wins races :)

i will agree autos are consistent..but not quicker...wheres the proof?

i wanna see a showdown!! Bubba vs. The World:lol:

don't plan on going too too fast in the drag racing world in that case...

again..autos are consistent but not always quicker...wheres the proof

A well tuned auto with an avg. driver will be faster then an avg driver in a manual. their is all sorts of verriables. But In my eyes Id rather have a street car/ DD with a manual, and a track car with an auto,

You guys can't really make generalizations about transmission type and speed/ET. There are too many other variables.

YAY some one agrees

and i qoute from my friend with his 1970 Chevelle SS drag car(dont worry he put back to matching numbers after last season as he got a 69 tub car for free lol)
i have three grears - Fast, Faster, Fastest

Zero to closed casket funeral in 2 seconds. :twisted:

i wanna see how his new 69 tub car is gonna do. i kno he was runing 10.2s with his 70 with only a fiberglass hood. but that car is back to factory now and his 69 is the new drag racer. suppose to have over 1100hp

Decent 3rd gen

exactly- everyone is making blanket statements simply about the type of trans used and not the tons of different varibles that come into play....

well bottom line, its very hard to find a good enough driver to shift as perfect as a programmed computer.

You won't find a human that can row gears on a "normal" manual transmission (not gonna get into pushbuttons or sequential manuals) as fast as an automatic prepared for drag racing.

i think the fastest three pedal car is one of shep's non-dog box dsm's which is in the mid 7's iirc, theres a couple vipers and supra's lookin to crush that number this year

if the auto was prepped for drag racing then its not comparable or equal to a stock manual trans..its like comparing apples to oranges...

I was comparing a stock manual trans to a stock automatic trans, but either way its hard to find someone if anyone at all depending on the setup.

Even if it were a modded manual, you wouldn't be able to shift as quickly as the automatic.

ronnie sox ditched his 4 speed for a lenco and he lost a few tenths...but that was ronnie sox :lol:
