Autofag here I've been learning to drive manual lately and when I get a new ride I'm going with stick

Why do you downshift to go faster? I thought you would go to the next gear?

>automatic transmission
>column """""shifter""""

>American instruction

Y-you too

in simplistic terms:
>lower gear = higher revs = more power = more fast

You shift down for less resistance to the engine and faster acceleration. It's to do with leverage and how tall each gear is. That's all you need to know for now.

>wash car
>engine stops drinking oil

Its depends on what revs you are

you downshift so you can have the rev in the power band of your engine

I gotcha. That makes sense to me now

I always have my back seats folded down because nobody has ever sat in them and nobody ever will.

My brother goes as far as to simply remove all but the driver's seat in his cars - He actually pissed off a homeless guy once who tried to hit him up for a ride. "I only have one seat!" Homeless guy didn't believe him, walked up to the car, and chewed him out for literally having only one seat.

>"I only have one seat!"
Fuck man, i'm doing this right now, I'll piss off some bitches after class tomorrow

What about in automatic cars? I know a guy with an automatic late 80s transam and he claims he goes drives in (D) overdrive and downshifts to D when he wants to go faster to pass someone. Does this work or is he just lying? The guys a compulsive liar who claims he was in a 140mph street race against a r8 when the cops busted them but let him go because the other guy had heroine in his car.

What about old muscle cars with 3 speed autos? Does down shifting an automatic from D to 2 do anything?

He can do that if he want's. With the auto that'll take it down from OverDrive to Drive and increase the RPM to something over 2000. That'll give it a little more initial acceleration capability rather than waiting for it to downshift on its own.

Now if he digs in deep enough the trans is going to downshift on it's own to 2nd in either the OD or D manual lever position which then makes the original downshift pointless.

As far as older 3 speeds are concerned they'll go down to 2nd on their own with enough throttle just like the OD trans would though with those they usually have enough rpm at cruise already and going to 2nd early would feel harsh until you actually started your run.

Why do people buy fast cars to drive slow?

Because they have to pay their own speeding tickets, you faggot.

Also
>Camaro
>Fast

depends on torque band

Why do people buy brand new fiats?

Fuckin Rekt.

The world is a strange place...

really makes me think

All possibilities my friend.

i need to left foot brake to get car around corners since I drive quite aggressively

Wtf why don't they just give it a different have

A different whatnot?

most cars are 'fast' albeit low torque

but the cars that were made exclusively for fast are fucking cop magnets

most autos are built to drop a gear on acceleration without you having to do anything...

Oh no people aren't using the same 15 in jokes on repeat. Kys.

You can't explain that.

Break in period, you shouldn't floor it all day in a brand new car.

Like really how the fuck does it work? The transmission is still place the same but the driveshaft runs through the engine? HOW DOES IT WORK?

The transmission isn't place the same. The transmission is under the engine in a FWD car.
