You were building some credibility ITT before you said that retarded comment.

the gtr was building cred until people drove them and the transmission went out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif, from what i have heard most weren't warrantied either

"Every proper drag car ever built uses a manual transmission.Some even go to the extreme of having several gear levers for each individual gear, all separately operating multi-plate clutches.

A manual gearbox allows the drive to be fed through the clutch and drivetrain more evenly and therefore more efficiently than the sun and planet arrangement of gears in an automatic box, which has to spool up to speed to pass drive through to the wheels.

Semi-Automatic gearboxes with automatic clutches are the most efficient method of changing gears, but they’re almost exclusively found in high end sports cars and purpose built race cars like Formula One." - Is Auto Or Manual Better If You Want To Drag Race? Or Is There No Difference? | frfry

I do not completely agree with the above statement (especially the first sentence), but it does give some insight into one of the advantages of a manual gearbox.

It is true that many very fast drag cars use highly modified automatics (*****-brake equipped), but that is a far cry from the guy at the track with his SRT-4 claiming his slushbox is a better transmission for racing than a manual transmission. The correct answer to this entire debate is that in some situations, one type is better, and in other situations the other type is better. But the original statement that started this whole thing was that automatics are generally better for racing because there is no lag between shifts, which is simply not true.

thevic, you are correct about top fuelies, good call.

your last sentence is true for a stock transmission, but the quickness of the shift can be determined by something as little as the shift kit (springs, openings in the valve body, check balls, o-rings, solenoids and such in the *****), hell you can even get your blazer in your sig to chirp second with NO lag at all assuming it has the 700r4 in it still by over adjusting the tv cable to shift firmer earlier

I happen to find that completely hilarious that you could give that little tiny motor enough power to beat a ferrari. That just kinda shows that if you take any stock car and mod it then you can make it really really fast lol. I'd like to see that things top speed.
