I remember driving my sisters Auto tC right after I boosted mine. I almost shed a tear when I realized the power just wasn't going to show up.

was just reading this thread... someone posted a dyno result of a auto vs a manual... there is ONLY A 10 WHP difference.... that is NOTHING... people make autos sound like granny mobiles... thats just not true...

IHE gets you more than 9 hp... some people are so ignorant...

the s/c is a waste on the auto, yes, because the auto tranny eats up some of the power, and the trd s/c is not that powerful to begin with...

an auto with only 10 less hp... racing someone who would be visiting this message board (meaning they ARENT pro racers) would probably come close to winning stock vs stock because it shifts smoother and faster... at WOT i believe an auto still shifts at redline....

a stock manual would EASILY lose to an auto with bolt ons...

make all the ridiculous claims you want... dyno tested... a manual has a whopping 10 more whp .... not 100 like everyone who owns a manual wants to pretend it has....

10 more... you add the bolt ons that were orgininally discussed in this thread to an auto and it beats a stock manual... no questions asked... 10 whp does not make a manual a bus lengths faster and you are a tool if you think that

Lmao. You're in no position to call anyone a tool, especially considering you've completely forgotten about the additional weight and neglected the fact that a 5-spd can be shifted much faster than the pathetic auto trans. And trust me, I have an auto tC and a 5-spd tC sitting in my driveway. You can match the WHP, but the auto will still be slower, off the line, through shifts and on the highway.

Regardless, you're still driving around an automatic econobox with a giant fart can that struggles to keep up with a RAV4.

LOL your the tool hp means nothing u act like out auto and manual trans have anywhere near the same gearing the mt trans has short gear hence its alot faster....its like slapping smaller gears in a mustang it can finally be fast...

it all comes down to the driver if they know what there doing...even if you do have 200 whp your never goona use it on a daily basic unless you street race alot which isnt good...my buddy has and evo with 365 whp thats alot you wouldnt only use that on a track unless your stupid.. faster doesnt make you better unless you wanna get killed..cars are a deadly weapon if you do something stupid ...


autos are fine and stick is fine to fun to drive....honeslty if i had and auto i would probably get and exhasut and intake so the car can breath better other then that thats all...if i wanted to be fast i would get a stick and mod that cause you have more control of the gears and car....

everyone has there own opion..but once again autos are fine
