Do you drive a manual or an automatic car?

[zymotic]

R34 Tiptronic  Not jumping with joy, nor am I balling with misery~

Reasons:

1) So other people in the family can drive it

2) About $8k off the price tag

3) Only car at the time that met my condition requirements

Agree with number 2 spend $8k on mods and eat the manual...

wtf pay that much more for a man gbox when can get conv for $2.5k

AUTO- When I drive around Phillip Island at speeds that frighten me I want both hands on the steering wheel !!

Besides I'm OLD;-)

manual 33 GTR VSpec

and manualised auto V8 r33 with a 3000RPM stally, id like to see ne rwd skyline manual get off the line harder... it holds it own on the circuit and makes very respectable times around Queensland Raceway and mrogan park... Im neither Girl nor spastic... And i know which ive my two cars is quicker to drive in any circumstance and it isnt R....

[32vspecII]

if you read the thread that actual conversion ended up costing 2500 which is still very very cheap

im paying 3500 for a r33 conversion , but it does include a new 800$ clutch . his used the old clutch from the front cut

i got a HD clutch installed, car should be tuned tommorow and should be time for some launch practice

traction is a big problem though, already spins through 1 and 2.....

yeah the whole.... manuals are quicker coz u can change gears yourself thing is a load of shit, who's to say you cant f*** up a gear change or stall..... even race car drivers and pro draggers can f*** up when it comes to that..... your only human after all, so say you put a manual vs auto on the drag strip both same cars ( with gearbox difference obviously ) with the same power.... the manual driver screws up the shift therefore the auto gets a better take off and wins.... not saying this is common, but if you live in the misconception that manuals are quicker simply coz u change gears yourself your an idiot.

There is another thread floating around for "Automatic Shift Kits" that are proving to be the next best thing to a manual - people are saying it makes the gear changes instant.

(even more to prove your point Jar)

[buzzin]

i drive a tiptronic auto because i drive heaps far to work everyday and im lazy. manual is definately better and more fun though. however, I have to say in the my auto's defence the r34 tiptronic box isn't too bad it gives you a little bit more control than a r33 Auto. especially with hills driving the paddle shift is pretty good.

[zymotic]

yup tiptronic is a good compromise especially once i got used to steering wheel shifts
