I never really mastered turning and breaking and downshifting at the same time.
I bought a BMW with the auto (BMW ///M is basically going to ditch DCT and manual gearbox for the ZF 8 or 9 speed as no German transmission can handle modern power for longer than 3 years, and the US ones blow according to the ///M CEO Guy) and now all I have to do is turn and brake and paddle shift down.
Thus I can now turn and brake and take a new faster line instead of break, turn, downshift.
Its already faster. On top of the super fast shift mechanically that I couldn't really compete with (neither can you).
Yeah its fun to time a perfectly rev matched downshift through a corner but its also fun doing it perfectly everytime.
Why are you in denial?

I like changing gears

> Germany can't make a good manual
So why not just give us the "manual" transmissions they use in F1?
Luis Gonzalez
Driving is boring enough even with manual shifting
Joshua Lewis
US manual: "bad shifting feel" "too heavy, we'd have to cut out the extra speakers we use for fake engine noise to meet our weight target" German auto: inevitable repairs cost as much as the entire American car
Levi Wood
i like to do burnouts and automatic transmissions are against this.
Blake Murphy
Sounds like your two stupid too due more than to things at ones.
Also, break/brake. Learn the difference or continue sounding like a tard.
Angel Richardson
How so? It's easier to do a burnout in a automatic. The millions of automatic drag cars don't seem to have any issues doing burnouts. I used to go through a set of tires every week or two with an automatic.
Luke Ramirez
Because I have the freedom to have more control over my car.
That's it, I don't care if it's better or worse, I like the challenge in getting the shifts perfect in all scenarios.
That said, I'm a stickler for input response and 'muh feel', running a manual rack miata PS delete and brake bias controller etc etc.

>Yeah its fun to try your best to get a good time on a track but its also fun letting AI controlled car do the perfect lap every time I'd rather lose to automatics in every race than win using an automatic.
Shame autos don't mean you win. You're still a shitter and will always remain a shitter if you give up learning something as simple as gear changes.
Colton Sanchez
Drag cars have a line lock and other things to purposely do a burnout.

If you feel cognitive overload, simply step on the clutch pedal.
That simple act will separate the engine from the wheels. It will reset everything. Engine will be back to idle. Car will effectively be in neutral and rolling through inertia. Can't stall. Can shift gears at will.
You will have time to think then. When you've made your decision, simply depress the pedal and engage the clutch as you accelerate.
Jayden Smith
Manuals are just more reliable and require less maintenance
Jackson Butler
I'd get a manual even if you had to change clutch every time you change oil. I'd go far to have more control over my car.
Landon Taylor
Why don't you just get computer interface implanted in your brain and hook it directly to the ECU?
Angel Hall
>Every week or two Rip that gearbox.
Just because you have multiplicative torque, doesn't mean you should be abusing it as putting so much strain on the other components.
Jayden Cooper
The 4l60 handled it fine. That along with redlining it 100's of times a day comes with that $500 car life.
If your rocker panels on your rwd car aren't coated in burnt rubber, you should be driving a fwd Civic... Save the rwd's for the men.
Ayden Sanders
T56 is godly stop driving shitbombs
Owen Mitchell
Wow, I'll take into consideration that random shithead user on Veeky Forums thinks I'm a shitter if I don't want every commute to work be a fucking slog shifting between first gear and neutral 100 times.
Henry Clark
because that doesnt sate his autism
Brayden Hall
My panels aren't coated in rubber because I can't afford $500 in tyres and $500 in clutch.flywheel servicing every month.

You do know that ZF is a German company right?
Oliver Jones
DCTs aren't autos.
Fucking retarded bench racers will never understand this.

Having torque converter drastically reduces peak torque (shock during shifts) placed on the drive train and allows to use phyiscally smaller gears (including rear diff) and other drive train components.
It's not that "no german transmissions can hold that power", it's the opposite: no one is going to build reliable transmission and engine and all that stuff that will work for years 10 years or more.
Currently many gearboxes are sold as a black box, they are not serviceable. Nowadays not only spares/parts aren't available but also the fluid is supposed to be good forever (sure thing it's not).
Every heard of Porsche Cayenne, latest BMW X5M? Any idea on common issues with engine/gearbox?
James Davis
Autotragic!?!?!? Fucking KYS FAGGOT! Your learning disability that keeps you from learning to drive a manual transmission is like a sickening virus spreading throughout this dying planet. Grow a pair of balls, get gud faggot. Nobody is gonna stroke you autotragic bicurious faggotry here, OP. KYS!!!
Elijah Bailey
Yeah the just shift automatically by way of computer controls. But they are still a manual.
Jose Robinson
>Yeah its fun to time a perfectly rev matched downshift through a corner but its also fun doing it perfectly everytime.
You admitted in the OP that you had trouble managing manual controls leading into a turn.
Basically, shut the fuck up. If you can't use heel-and-toe your opinion as a driver is worthless.
Maybe if they didn't make engines that had an "average" running temperature of 240° fahrenheit they would understand that 9 gears of literally mostly flyover gears is still more dumb than just a simpler TH700. Especially when the acceleration is already governed by the computer and software inside the car though a traction control algorithm to achieve that 3 second 0-60.
