manual cars are the sh1t

Not a manual but this thread needed some burning rubber in it.

I'll never own another standard for the rest of my life. Both of my Corvettes are automatic.

meh manuals are for motorcycles. Ill beat your manual as well

manuals are fun for a while, but the joy ends eventually. Youll be shifting from 1st to 2nd to 5th in no time to avoid going through all the gears

I admit standards were kinda fun for awhile but after owning one for 4 years it had me toasted.

Manuals are best for performance vehicles. I dont care how you build your automatic ******, there's no substitute for manual control of your RPM's and clutch management. With an auto, if you install a serious stall converter to hook hard off the line, its gonna suck to drive in traffic. If you use a standard torque converter, you lose a lot of power off the line. With a manual ******, you can control the car to handle any of those situations. For example, in my chevelle (strong big block) I can get nice smooth acceleration from a stop light in traffic. But if someone wants to race, drop her in second and dump the clutch at 3-4k and watch the front end come off the ground. Then power shift (no clutch) through the rest of the gears.

If someone thinks an auto is 'faster' than a manual (all other factors being equal), you just aren't very good with manual transmissions.

Anyone here have any experience with those dual clutch(AKA clutchless) transmissions?

Are they any good?

Its a Grand National, its fast, relatively speaking. But not because it has an automatic in it.
