Thread 28672758

I’ve driven nothing but manuals until recently and don’t see the preference for manual. On twisty back roads I’m just in 3rd most of the time and occasionally shit down to 2nd. Having an auto you can manually shift is hardly any less enjoyable than a manual. I could see if you had close gears, but most street cars don’t have that.
>why don’t you go above 3rd?
Because if you go fast on the straights you’re just gonna wind up stuck behind a normie going the speed limit.

Some automatics are slushy. A direct connection is just better.
A manual is better than a DCT for street driving because you know from a touch what gear you’re in. On the track where you’re always on it and always shifting so it’s on your mind what gear you’re in a DCT is fine if you’re going for lap times. But on the street where you might’ve put it in 4th a couple miles back, it’s nice that just a touch tells you you’re not in 3rd.

I enjoy it.

>>28672829

What the fuck are you talking about, you can tell what gear you’re in by the engine speed

Modern autos are great. I would love to swap an 8hp or dct box into my Japanese shitbox.

OP, this >>28672835 is the only correct answer. If you like it use it, if you don't, don't.

No need waste your time pondering useless questions

>>28672874
Some of us have smooth i6’s with low-end torque and without nigger exhausts, and with the windows down it’s not obvious what gear you’re in.

If I gotta explain it to you, then you wouldn't get it.

>>28672789
Yeah I agree those automatic plebs are pretty pathetic trying to make people believe they're anything close to the fun a manual transmission is (let alone ease to repair and cost effective servicing)

>>28672829
You can tell what gear you're in just by listening..

i got stuck in a rut on a muddy road once and managed to rock back and forth by playing with the clutch and gas and eventually break free. wouldn't have been possible with an auto. if your battery is dead you can roll start. way easier to service and parts are cheaper (yes I've done it). if you drive on hilly roads engine braking will save your brakes.

>>28672788

I'm 35 Ive earned the right to drive automatic.

So sad.

>>28673071
I'm 36 and still obsessed with going bam-bam-bam on the rev limiter in ultralights (miatas). I'm sorry you've convinced yourself to become boring.
If you said you preferred it that would be another thing, but you claimed to be "too old."

>>28672788
Because it's a v8 and a manual sounds better

>>28673134
based
I'm turning 32 soon and feel the same
4 out of 4 cars I've owned have all been manual and I have no desire to ever get something that's not

>>28673134
I already did all that shit when I was a kid, I literally sold a Miata a couple years ago. Now I got a free Honda pilot and I'm loving it

>>28673141
Yeah I'm on my 6th manual, about to be on my 7th. I couldn't imagine willingly driving auto.

>>28673143
To me, sex got old, but driving manuals like a fucking degenerate never has. It's the spice of life, the commute is the best part of the day.

>>28673149
Yea I understand if you gotta commute, I'm on gibs so in just kick back livin life with my automatic

I've owned a crx si, and Miata in manual. If I get a manual next it has to be v8. I just want a v8 now period

Poor people need to attach their egos onto something or else they'll kill themselves. By the time they have a semblance of money they can't let go of their "preference" of using poor cars so they have to mask it with some excuse like road feel or being connected to the car. Typical gay shit

>>28672758 (OP)
it's a superiority complex. faggots say they love manuals but apparently never fucking buy them, as evident by them rotting on dealership lots and manufacturers eventually giving up entirely. It's the boomer and tough-guy mentality of bragging about some esoteric skill they had that invariably proves that they had a harder life than you, or that they're smarter or more sophisticated than you. but the numbers don't lie, and these faggots never actually showed up and purchased any of their beloved manual cars.

One could liken manual fags to linux users. A very, very loud minority.

>>28672758 (OP)
>>28672789
Pretty much this. If you're a "car guy" you already have no interesting personality and people think you're weird.
So instead of getting a real personality you double down on it by also making driving a manuel a part of your personality (applies to amerimutts only).
If you're a failure in life by every real metric, at least you can think about how your car's transmission is better than those "npc car"s transmission

>>28673201

And yet the same car with the auto sells perfectly fine. Why is that?

>>28672758 (OP)
See? Manualniggers would prefer to make up obviously false scenarios to defend their preference than realize that they lost the "fun" and "performance" fights multiple decades ago

>>28673360
because it's several grand cheaper since they also took that gearbox from the minivan

>>28673364
Stop being retarded. Show one (1) car where the auto version is cheaper for the same trim lmao. You can't.

>>28673350
manual cars didn't disappear overnight. it was nearly 2 decades of rapidly declining sales

>>28673365
i was gonna bring up the supra but turns out that's just dealer cuntery

I feel so dumb and full of dread right now because something bad could've happened to me today.

I got an old manual car yesterday. First time ever driving a car with a stick, but I've rode motorcycles in the past, so I know how manual works. I was completely fine driving yesterday, did everything right and didn't stall the engine. That brings us to today...

>got into my car
>held down the clutch and fired up the engine
>I let my foot off the clutch absentmindedly, my brain thought I was starting up an Automatic car and that I was still in "Park" (in actuality, I was in 1st gear.)
>The car jumped forward and stalled
FORTUNATELY, VERY FORTUNATELY, I was parked on the street and nobody was in front of me. I feel so fucking stupid and that dread I feel is the realization that if my neighbor were home I would've just plowed into his car. He would've parked directly in front of me. That could have been a costly mistake and I would've been so embarrassed.

Sorry, I just wanted to get that off of my chest. I won't let that happen ever again.

>>28672788
So insecure AND closet faggot, got it.

>>28672788
Because I love my car

I like manuals because they are smooth and chill as long as you play the part. There are no surprise behaviors from gearbox. And you will always be in the right gear for the corner in advance not somewhere later the down the line so upsetting the car's balance is less of an issue when you don't have a lot of grip. Automatics can't predict what's ahead but only react to whatever is going on at the moment, and sometimes they get things wrong. Shift times don't matter to me.

>>28675354
every automatic transmission has a manual mode whether it wants to or not
if the car is doing something unexpected you have a skill issue

>>28672758 (OP)
Different people like different things.
You don't need to understand why.

>>28675359
That's not good enough with how abrupt it can be, and neither is forcing behaviors with gas pedal. Whenever there's a need to force an upshift with higher revs it ruins the vibe for me. So keep your autotragic, more of those for you. Also, funny how you claim a skill issue for a device meant to eliminate human factor. Though yes, some older autos need some actual know-how to get what you want out of them.

>>28675373
>That's not good enough with how abrupt it can be
it's not abrupt if you are personally activating it, you very quickly learn the timing.
it's not abrupt if the transmission is specifically designed for such operation like a zf8 or 9.

>muh vibes
bro your tampon?


> funny how you claim a skill issue for a device meant to eliminate human factor

it doesn't eliminate human factor because as you said, an automatic gearbox cannot actually predict what is going on 100 feet down the road, but the human that is legally required to be present behind the wheel in the car can. it's a skill issue because you can adapt for this. it sucks to "paddle shift" a column mounted auto shifter with the stupid buttons on the end of the stalk like in some GM vans and trucks but it can and should be done.
shifting gears is slightly different in process and feel than a traditional manual transmission, sure, but you still need to physically drive the car and select what gears to be in manually even then. what happens after the power leaves the gearbox is exactly the same principle.
provided the gearbox is not overly slushy and the thing isn't fighting you about gear selection (t. ford) it's all good.

Hey anon, it's okay to not value something someone else values. I like driving stick and the roads I drive on have me shifting between 2-4 very often. If you find no difference in joy between driving an auto and stick, then picking an auto is perfectly acceptable.

>>28675396
there is functionally no difference as soon as the driveshaft starts turning
any difference in joy is purely the driver's skill in operating the machine

I like manual because it's fun to drive
Similarly I like playing fighting games on stick
I guess I like sticks in general

>>28673071
Bought my first autobox at 40 and I ain't going back.
I actually feel like retard for torturing my self with manual in stop and go traffic for 10 years and not switching earlier.

>>28672968
>If I gotta explain it to you, then you wouldn't get it.
Pretty much this. You gotta drive the car right in order to understand and that doesn't necessarily mean aggressively.

>>28673071
I'm 64 and have the itch for a manual again, but not the itch to spend the money unfortunately.

>>28672758 (OP)
Probably because you're on the spectrum. Good luck with that. I'm gonna keep driving manual because it's fun as fuck and part of the essence of enjoying a drive with soul.

>>28675390
>muh vibes
Yes, they matter as I treat my car as something for my pleasure and not just a commuter. In fact, I commute on my bicycle way more than by car. So, you care about efficient operation? Here's exactly a vehicle for you LMAO, seems like you came to the wrong board.

>>28675598
only spectrum people like manuels though

>>28672758 (OP)
You have incredibly bad takes OP and you're almost certainly lying. Show me these roads where you're in 3rd most of the time.

>>28675828
3rd in a Z3 3.0i is good from 15-90, and in the power band from 40-90, which is a good speed range for any twisty 25mph road.

>>28675870

>t. american who literally owns a manuel car and finds absolutely nothing special about it

Driving a manual made sense to me as soon as I realized it's "analog," like using the joystick and triggers on a video game controller. If you give that hint to a gamer, he'll figure it out really quickly.

>>28675828
Pretty much any county road where I live. They rarely have curves sharp enough to go below 50mph and I don’t go fast on the straights because then you just get stuck behind some normie doing the speed limit.

Built in theft deterrent. End Thread.

>>28672758 (OP)
It's more control of the car making driving more engaging.
Would you think it'd make driving more fun if you had a car that would brake or throttle for you?

>>28672761
FPBP

I just don't feel comfortable having to trust an automaton to do shifting for me.

>>28677130
yet you trust the automaton under the hood to turn flammable liquid into noise and tire smoke

Simple answer, a stick shift gives you the ability to control engine braking, something an auto doesn't and thus you can control the car to a much higher degree, especially around corners etc. Plus most auto's excluding modern double clutch units are frikkin dog slow to react. Also the ability to control engine rpm is critical during fast driving.

>>28677146
I don’t think I’ve ever driven an auto you couldn’t chose the gear you wanted in manual mode.

>>28677146
autos have manual mode retard

>>28679725
Do you sincerely believe they're the same?

>>28679744
no. the auto is better because it's faster and more precise. unless you can name a way it isn't.

It's more fun and there have been a couple emergency situations, one where I was stuck and one where I was descending a very large hill and my brakes started to fade that having a 5spd has saved my ass. As far as I can tell, auto has no actual benefits besides I get to be lazy, but I'm already sitting in a damn chair I can manage to move my left leg and my arm sometimes I think

>>28675114
Bro I do that like once every few months I've been driving manual for over 10 years. With the civic it wasn't an issue but the new 86 fucking jumps haha. Ive started giving the knob a little wiggle every time I hop in.

I got my first automatic ever, been driving manual cars since I was 16 and I miss it every day. I got a nice car with a top trim, but they just didn't offer it in a manual anymore. I feel the need to cope every day about it because the essence of driving is almost lost. My next car will be a manual if it's even possible still in Burgerland (it wont be, no one buys them).

>>28680963
mine is a 3 spd column shifter but i reckon if i keep it long enough i'll be a paypig and get it manual swapped. or get something else with a v8 but that can be manual swapped somewhat easily

Why do automatic tards always ignore the mis-shifts?
>oh, you were accelerating and then slammed on the brakes, I thought you were going to keep accelerating so I shifted up to 8th gear instead of downshifting to 2nd, sorry! Just 6 more gear changes and you'll be right back to where you wanted to be, instead of just 1 downshift in a MT!

>>28681596
Sometimes I leave it in neutral, sometimes I leave it in gear. There's also zero consequences if I fuck up as I'm not on the street.

>>28681596
I just realized something, I always have emergency brake on when I start it so the jump isn't really that bad and it just stalls out right away. Did you have it off? If so I now totally understand why you're so spooked lol.

>>28681756

>>more vehicle control
Can change gears in an auto, more control in theory but in practice, you can focus more on driving the car than changing gears if you have an auto, which can also be said to be control. Basically, your laptime around the burgerking would be faster in an auto compared to a manual.
>>simpler, cheaper to repair/replace
True, some people aren't tards who destroy their automatic transmissions though
>>much higher resale value
Cyclical logic. "the manual is better because it's viewed as better by autists"
>>more fun & engaging (can also do stuff like donuts & drifting)
It's more engaging but arguably not as fun
You can obviously do donuts and drift in an auto, no idea what youre talkign about
>>push/pull starting gets your car moving even if the battery & starter are totally dead
Not a retard who lets his battery drain out completely lmao
>>thieves don't know how to steal it (literally)
If a thief wants your car they'll get it. You think manual hellcats/392s or manual camaros can just sit out on the street without getting stolen XD.
>>doesn't overheat as readily as an automatic
True
>>gives you feedback on the wear of your parts, so it's not a surprise when the clutch starts failing or the fluid needs to be changed
Well you can tell if an auto transmission is starting to slip as well.

>>28681756
my ZF8 can go from 8th directly to 2nd if i hold the downshift paddle
it also buffers inputs so i can command it to go down as many gears as i tap the shifter, and it does so in one big block, only interrupting the sequence if the shift i commanded will cause an overrev, to which it downshifts into the lowest safe gear, waits for the rpms to drop, then pulls the last one.

>>28683867
>>28681756
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_8HP_transmission
>Due to changes in internal design, the shift times have reduced to 0.2 seconds; additionally, the unit brings the ability to shift in a non-sequential manner – going from gear 8 to gear 2 in extreme situations simply by changing one shift element (actuating brake B and releasing clutch D)

the future is now, old man

Honestly I haven't driven an auto in probably 6 or 7 years because several things they do make me violently angry, like creeping forward if I don't hold the brakes, but I know you can't engine brake properly in one. Sure man shift into "2" while you're going like 80 good luck. I engine brake at every opportunity on normal drives as well, i have made it around 80,000km without servicing my brakes since the incident which cooked them, although they're starting to make some noise finally.

>>28687232
>>28687235
This is the sour grapes again. When a car is available in auto and manual, the manual is always more desirable. Autoniggers are just constantly coping. Cars that were only available in auto get swapped to manual but the opposite never happens.

>>28687261
This is the sour grapes again. When a car is fast enough to be enjoyable without a manual, they get bought without manuals. And when a car becomes TOO fast for a manual, they swap in an automatic. You've clearly never heard of a TH400

>>28687261

>Behind the engine is a Rossler 4L80E transmission and Neal Chance torque converter.

>>28687349
>nooo nothing is too fast for a manual!!

>>28687371
it has shift levers and a clutch pedal so it's manual. Or was that a different 6 second street driven nova.

>>28687377
THE TRANS
Instead of the five-speed Lenco Larson ran in previous years, this time, he went for a Rossler three-speed TH400 with ProTorque converter. For road use, the Chev runs a transmission cooler, which is bypassed and removed come race time. The four-link rear end has all the usual bulletproof components, including a Strange Pro Mod-style bolt-through Ultra Case swinging 3.89:1 pro gears and Hoosier 34×17 sneakers (goddamnit they're tires i hate when retards call them shoes or whatever)

>>28687381
Kek he even used the damn transmission i posted when I said that's the shit people switch to when their car is too fast for a manual

>>28687371
>>28687377
It has a manul lenco with clutch pedal the other guy is wrong

>>28687384
The video is from 15years ago lol wtf
Pretty much everyone runs TH400s now

why does this autonigger keep deleting his posts

>>28687396
Because i don't need to be shown a build from 2009

>>28672758 (OP)
Manual was better for many decades, but it's obsolete now. Real performance cars don't even offer it because it would make the car slower. Anyone still going on about manuals is living in the past.

Yes, I drive a manual because I'm a poorfag and have an old paid-off one. But it's outdated tech.

>>28687395
the article from the same time period as the video says it has a lenco

>inb4 rebuttal
Nothing you say counters these issue

>>28687402
are you literally fucking retarded

>>28687235
No car is enjoyable without manual. You may as well auto drive if all you're going to do is push an accelerator.

>>28687404
You are literally fucking retarded
The manual was clearly too slow for him as he switched to TH400s kek cry slowfaglet boyracelet

>>28687315
Imagine thinking everyone is the same poster lol

>>28687406
>skill issue
>shifting gears is the only fun to be had in a car!!!
Spoken like a true slowfaglet

>>28687406
>No car is enjoyable without manual
Your entire personality revolves around your cult-like devotion to manual transmissions.

>>28687406
WRONG

All driving is enjoyable.
Its just manuals tend to be more enjoyable.
>driving - not sitting in traffic

>>28687315
It was too fast for a manual. Why else did he switch to TH400s lol

>>28687416
WRONG

Try having fun in a fuckin mitsubishi mirage; it's impossible

>>28687407
So you were proven wrong about 6 second street cars with manual transmission, is this your latest copefag argument? Is it safe to reply to you or are you going to delete your post like a little retard bitch again?

>>28687412
Yes. Driving is completely mind numbing and uninteresting without a connection to the transmission. I never gave a single fuck about driving before I drove a manual.

>>28687292
>If Timmies don't get stimmies you go insane

>meanwhile Tavarious when he don't get his daily weed & malt liquor

>>28687422
I wasn't proven wrong as he has a fuckin TH400 lol

>>28687421
bitch I have fun cruising at 65 weaving in between faggots doing the 55 speed limit in my AT corolla
>LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING MOTHERFUCKERS

>>28687424
Spoken like a true slowfaglet

>>28687431
oh does it run faster times than 6.95?

>>28687432
Meh. You're probably the type to not concede the passing lane when you see my Anhel Eyes and Roundel approaching you at double your speed

>>28687425
What you quoted isn't ad hominem at all. To pretend like the only way to have fun while driving is via jerking off your car constantly is pure insanity. The average manual tranny cultist is leaving their transmission in 2nd or 3rd gear while cruising a twisty mountain pass. Are you seriously suggesting the guy accelerating from a stop sign is having more fun than him because he's working his clutch and gear stick more?

>>28687438
Wrong again fren
Hell I even consneed the passing lane when there's nobody behind me sometimes

>>28687436
Yeah, that's kind have the point
His cars became too fast for a manual so he had to drop them for a TH400

>>28687447
WHO CARES

Any type of professional racing should be limited by rules to manual transmission.

If you are competing "racing" then auto-trans shouldn't be allowed.

>>28687445
Why are you even in the passing lane to begin with? And yeah weaving through traffic isn't the kind have "fun in cars" we're talking about. I mean I'd have fun "banging" Alison Brie in probably any car, to use the parlance of our times

>>28687447
show me a video of the automatic nova running a faster time than the manual one then.

>>28681629
bazed
The short throw shifter meme was a mistake

>>28687452
Manuals are just too slow at that level

>>28687453
>Why are you even in the passing lane to begin with?
Because I just changed to the left lane to pass someone in the right?

>>28687454
Show me a video of him using a manual in any of his cars now or for the past decade

>>28684003
you should avoid assuming anybody who comments openly is an /o/ regular. in fact, anyone who just blithely comments on /o/ instead of making threads or having a discussion is probably a newfag
the vast majority of us just silently watch and laugh as the kids argue, it's not our responsibility to correct them.

>>28687456
>manuals too slow for nascar / F1 / GT
bitch please

>drag racing
If all they do is go in a straight line then YES they definitely should have to use manual

>>28687458
Then how is no one behind you?

>>28687464
Because there was no one in the left lane?
Jesus dude are you a bot or just autism

>>28687460
>for the past decade
lol I thought we were talking about speed. How is the last decade relevant if his fastest time was 15 years ago? What's the problem? You can't find a faster auto time?

>>28687463
>Nascar/F1/GT cars are as fast as top fuel dragsters!!
bitch please II
>If all they do is go in a straight line then YES they definitely should have to use manual
Are we racing or are we comparing who is the best manual transmission operator?

>>28687466
So you passed someone and they just disappear? How retarded are you?

the jeets are using LLMs on /o/ now

lol I'm not watching a 28 minute video. Do you have footage of the 6 second street driven nova running faster than 6.95 with an auto or not?

>>28687495
https://youtu.be/kpMFSK0TuD4
Why didn't they just manual swap it instead of the TH400?

>>28673134
>>28673141
hi twins

>>28687499
Sop that's a No. Better luck next time you dumb nigger. Are you a legitimate fucking retard that's not even a quarter mile. Maybe go argue about matchbox cars on the mattel forums or something that's more your level.

>>28687514
Lol how is that not a quarter mile?
I accept your slowfaglet concession stand; now let me get some Milk Duds

how embarrassing.

>>28687529

Why doesn't he use a manual for his world record 1/4 mile time? How embarrassing

>>28687535
I'm impressed. Most people would shut the fuck up after being so retarded and mistaking a 1/8 mile drag for a 1/4 mile but apparently you have zero shame. Unfortunately for you I'm not watching a 23 minute video about race cars when we were talking about street cars. I dont' come here often but I haven't seen someone this fucking stupid in a long time are you brown or black? You're brown or black aren't you?

>>28687443
It's textbook ad hominem. That post makes no point other than to insult his personality.
>Are you seriously suggesting the guy accelerating from a stop sign is having more fun than him because he's working his clutch and gear stick more?
Yes.

>>28687545
The point is that you're sick in the head, you're in a cult and no one but burgers puts manual transmission ownership and operation on such a pedestal.

>>28687490
>i'm having so much fun trying to troll that my brain just disappears

>>28687559
How is he sick in the head? Automatic transmission was originally conceived and marketed as a transmission for women. I don't think the fundamental differences between men and women have changed in the last 80 years. Are you a woman?

>>28687564
>nooo corollas are FUN!!! You're just trolling if you say otherwise!!!

>>28687572
Some corollas are fun

>>28687541
We weren't talking about street cars lol. You were talking about street cars
Any car that NEEDS a manual to be fun is simply too slow

>>28687573
Don't waste your time
It's a fagbot retard

>>28687545
That literally isn't ad hominem; it's simply a personal attack

>>28687573
>muh heckin chinese cartoon lore!!
Those things aren't fun at all

>>28687578
>nooo corollas arent ugly slow and gay they're heckin fun!!!

Are you fucking gay? Who can keep a straight face and say ae86 aren't fun?

>>28687559

>>28687425

Are you fucking gay? Who can keep a straight face and say a goyota corolla is fun?

>>28687616
An "ad hominem" is a logical fallacy where an argument is attacked by discrediting the person making it, while a "personal attack" is a broader term for any insult or verbal attack against a person's character, which becomes an ad hominem fallacy when it's used to dismiss an argument. In short, all ad hominem arguments are personal attacks, but not all personal attacks are ad hominem fallacies unless they are used in place of a logical argument.

>>28687618
cool word salad bro, they're functionally the same thing

>>28687620
What's a "word salad bro?"
What argument was being made by the personal attack?

>>28687607
Stay mad faggot. Enjoy your gay fwd cuck box.

>>28687570
You're getting pretty emotional over your jerk off stick being taken away. Soon no vehicle will have one, and just like the Camaro dying, /o/ will rejoice.

>>28687628
Imagine being so sour grapes over other people having nice cars that you make a post like this. Fucking kill yourself.

>>28687628
i think if manuals do stop being offered as a factory option, there will be a cottage industry of manual swap kits as long as companies like tremec keep selling aftermarket manual boxes

>>28687626
Stay mad, faggot; corollas are ugly slow and gay
And none of my cars are fag-wheel drive LOL

>>28687636
>And none of my cars are fag-wheel drive LOL
Oh I think they are. Transverse front engine awd is still fag wheel drive btw.
