Every day we get several threads shitting on manual, usually some underage cuck with a mental disability and zero confidence citing “muh floppy paddles” as a reason for driving auto
Pic related holds the standing mile record and is a 6 speed manual. Almost all high speed long distance cars (including some lambos too!) use manuals. There is no gearbox that is as strong, can last as long without overheating, or as cheap and simple to rebuild and make stronger
also the Chiron could solve the issues it has with that silly single clutch auto if they just dropped it for a 6 speed manual, but it’s marketed towards fags
Dominic Fisher
how is a manual stronger than a single clutch auto? Isn’t it just literally a manual box with a robotic linkage? At least that’s how the bmw smgs were

>10+ manual hate threads >all have 100+ replies >1 manual thread >0 replies
It’s almost as if the people making the manual hate threads don’t actually care about making arguments and instead are just posting bait
Robert Anderson
>implying every thread regardless of subject doesn't always result to shitting on anything posted that is not a manual It's the special snowflake manualfags that need to constantly be coddled by Veeky Forums to justify their incessant drooling over ancient technology.

That depends on the gearbox. Anyone who is not a mechanic fuck off you know nothing. There's good reason many drag cars use automatics and that you can still buy a new Powerglide containing no stock Powerglide parts.
If you want a manual you should drive one. Your problem is solved. If you want a manual in a car where they aren't offered, adapt one or pay the nice people at Novak or Advance Adapters to make one for you. If you cannot do that then you aren't a mechanic or reasonably prosperous are and therefore unfit to drive on my earth.

I've only owned manual cars and I enjoy it because of how interactive it is. Could care less if it is ancient, but I've also never had any transmission issues and never owned a car with
Jackson Russell
The point I was on about in the op was the heat dissipation. Sure the fastest dragsters save top fuel all use autos, but they run 1000ft at the most. They couldn’t do the mile because all the atf in the torque converter would burn off. A manual with a puk clutch doesn’t have this issue
Tbh the sound is the absolute number one for me. Automatics just sound so dumb when they shift but the pause you get in the engine note upon gearshift in a manual just sounds GOAT. Dcts sorta get a pass because they can kinda sound like racing sequentials with a nice pop

James Davis
In a day to day scenario which is superior?
John Turner
Manual can be great for resale too. The automatic version of my car is worth 30-40% less than my six speed.
Ryder Young
Torque converters do that thing where they multiply torque though. Sometimes that's handy.
Lucas Jenkins
Manuel is for cucks couldn't imagine owning such a stupid ancient transmission
Christian Harris
>t. bitter
Austin Brooks
manual is always superior because even if its shittier in traffic you get more recreation from driving it when you aren't in heavy traffic.
Hunter Williams
I like manuals but you gush like a no car bus rider or a boomer with nothing in between
Nathaniel Taylor
Ur a fag
I own 3 manual vehicles >twin turbo 300zx with a hd clutch >L300 work van >4afe Corolla shitbox
Your bus is auto

It's aimed at retards.
Owen Nelson
>Torque converters do that thing where they multiply torque though
That's what the gearbox is for. The more you use a torque converter to multiply torque the less efficient they get and they are already less efficient than a standard clutch.

I never understood this argument that manuals are a pita to operate in traffic. I live in fucking LA, nobody can lecture me on traffic, and I love the control and interaction of a manual 'box. Is it they are all limp wristed?....or probably more accurate, they aren't drivers at all, but the rolling roadblock assholes who are on their fucking phones and drinking a fucking coffee at the same time. They can't be assed to drive since they have their fucking living room in their lap.
Grayson King
I drive manual and drink coffee and shitpost and smoke in traffic
Dominic Russell
Not him, but some automatic transmissions use conventional clutches. DCTs use two clutches. Slushboxes use clutch bands.
Isaac Foster
pagani huyara has a real manual, as far as i knwo it might be the fastest production manual car
Adrian Roberts
Go to bed granpa. Manual is getting phased out and there's nothing you can do about it.
Jacob Foster
you americans make me laugh
Anthony Harris
You could be right you young twat, but remember people also thought that vinyl records will phase out.
Ryder Barnes
Learned to drive in a manual and my first car was manual. My new car is an auto with flappy paddles. Going through heavy traffic, slow towns and shit I prefer my new car as my old car by 25 mph you're in 4th gear. So at low speeds you had to keep flipping between gears which was a tad anmoying in london. But out on the country lanes. I miss my old manual definitely. If i luved back in that area it would be manual all day everyday.
Samuel Cook
Single clutch auto as opposed to a dual clutch auto. Still has floppy paddles
I thought that was auto, it just had a stick that lets you pretend? It doesn’t actually have a clutch pedal right?
Kiwi
I’m doing my best shitposting to save it
Levi Gutierrez
>Kiwi same anglo shit
Jack Mitchell
>get manual >after a few months it's basically an automatic process Honestly it doesn't make a fucking difference.
Ian Murphy
As a C5 owner, I bet like seven out of those eight Corvettes are automatics. So hard to find a manual with the hatchback. I drive an automatic.
Levi Rivera
I'm really liking that front clip/grill design on that black C5 in the picture. You don't happen to know what that is do you? The splitter looks nice too.
Camden Williams
cope
Jayden Ramirez
What do you mean? I like driving my manual shitbox, but it is pretty much an automatic process at this point. I don't even think when changing gears.
Kayden Carter
that doesn't mean it doesn't make a difference, idiot.
Chase Lee

The cars of the future are electric, and they don't have gears OP.
Ice vehicles will be the norm for another 20 years and than we will see the tipping point. Eventually owning an ICE vehicle will just be for some motoring enthusiasts, who are willing to pay a massive premium to do so.
Or, you can move to the third world and enjoy yourself with fossil fuels until your deathbed atleast. Immerse yourself with the niggers.
Owen Reed
It’s in Japan. I got it from some other user
Liam Taylor
Related question about this from someone not super car savvy...
Aren't modern automatic transmissions faster off the line than manual transmissions in the same car? I've been hearing this since like 2015.
It just doesn't sound as cool with a good exhaust on an auto v8 compared to a manual but I'd rather have the freehand to jerk off
Levi Walker
This. Gas cars will probably be taxed like cigarettes and alcohol in 10-20 years. Probably closer to 20 since there aren't a lot of charging stations yet.
Samuel Lopez
When its about driving at its root form no abs no esc no auto all day. Im driving to drive. On a daily or wifes car the options are nice. Its the destination not the drive. This is why drivers cars hold value and econo boxes are dirt cheap.
Aaron Davis
Yeah in sports cars maybe. I drove a 2017 Mazda 2 a few weeks ago, the pos auto 6 in that was a proper slushbox as shit as the old dirty 4+1 od in my mates old 99 pulsar. I’ve heard that modern autos learn and shit but I’m yet to experience a nice one
>driving in traffic >auto is in 3rd >traffic slows down >lift off >auto upshifts to 5th?!? >no engine braking at all have to brake >traffic starts to move again >auto violently downshifts 3 gears into second with no rev matching at all >hur well at least my fuel economy is good thank u gearbox u know so much more than me >try to use it in “”””manual “””””” mode >can’t read what gear I’m in because the sun blocks the Number >try to downshift >nothing happens so try again >suddenly downshifts twice into 1st at pretty much redline, then auto upshifts by itself?!?
Please tell me there are autos out there that will do what I want
Gabriel Ortiz
DCT, best of both worlds, just don’t creep in traffic, treat it like a manual
Austin Cooper
If it shifts for you, regardless how, it's an automatic.
Xavier Torres
DCT is outdated and obsolete already.
Logan Rogers
the ZF8 in my car is pretty decent for traffic and general not-being-horrible.
