Get with the times, gramps. The debate was settled decades ago
Like my balls, child.
>>28655320Gaaaaaaay click Gayyyyyyyyy click Gayyyyyyyy
I drove a (FSAE) car with a steering paddle clutch once, was pretty sick.Do I prefer paddles to full auto? Yes.Would I choose it over manual? Only if I got my left leg cut off or paralyzed....you're obsessed with manualchads OP, I'm sorry your mom wouldn't buy you one.
big true
You get faster lap times with the flappy paddles
It lets me larp as a GT3 race driver. very based
It's more fun to use the stick.
Paddles are only good for cutting edge performance.Anything slower and they're cope.
>>28655320what is the debate, speed or fun?
>>28655320Good luck using paddles while actively steeringLike turning the steering wheel more than 100º
>>28655402So what?>>28655438You're supposed to be done shifting gears before the turn not in the middle of it
>>28655443>You're supposed to be done shifting gears before the turn not in the middle of itHave you ever driven in a mountainous terrain?
If the paddles aren’t controlling a sequential manual or at the very least a DCT, it’s a larp
>>28655320Automatic = riced out
>>28655494Ok I'll make an exceptionIf you drive a CVT with paddles then you should drive off the nearest cliff
>>28655447Yes I have, point stands
>>28655447If your power band isn't wide enough to maintain speed in one gear at a 90 degree steering position then either your steering ratio is whack af or your engine is garbage
>>28655515Sure, everything is garbage except the paddlesNot their fault whatsoever
>>28655507Do that more, do that with other cars around, do that in slippery conditions (so that sometimes you have to catch your rear end). You'll be using the shifter more than the steering wheel/column-mounted controls and eventually you'll find yourself completely abandoning them, at least that's how I end up with every car that has both.
>>28655517Works in every single paddle shift car I've ever drivenAt 90 degrees of steering input, the average car will have a turning radius of 15 feet.Assuming your tires are rated for 1.0g of lateral acceleration, this means that you can drive at most 27 mph without spinning out.At 45 degrees of steering input, the average car will have a turning radius of 21 feet.With the same assumptions, you can drive at most 32 mph without spinning out.At 30 degrees, you can drive at most 39 mph.At 20, you can drive at most 46 mph.At 15, it's at most 53 mph.At 10, it's at most 65 mph.Do you have glue on your tires? Does your car have a 100 rpm power band? Do you lack fine motor control skills? Please tell me why you're having trouble paddle shifting
>>28655543>At 90 degrees of steering input, the average car will have a turning radius of 15 feet.Stopped reading thereFind a better aidiot if you can't run the numbers yourself
>>28655570Feel free to calculate the numbers yourself
Stick is slow car cope
>>28655578Man, a compact car has 15 feet of turning radius AT FULL LOCK, that's written literally in the specs. You have to be an absolute busrider or an aidiot to not know that.
>>28655586Still don't see any calculationsIf you're a mathlet, here's a site that does them for youhttps://calculator.academy/lateral-force-calculator/
>>28655590You want me to prove your point because you failed to?LmaoProve yourself a human first
>>28655320Man autos are gay as fuck, always have been always will be. It's always some low t faggot who can't drive for shit shilling these slushboxes because he doesn't have a dad to teach how to do manly shit. Same faggots begging for self driving e-pods.
>>28655597Gays are at least 5% of the male populationManuals are like 2%Meaning you're times more likely to be a fag
>>28655600Shut the fuck up you limp wirsited nu-male faggot, wrenchlet. Stick to discussing led temu lights and glue on lips kek, fucking ricer
>>28655603Oh, a closeted one. Sorry, didn't mean to disturb your manliness.
>>28655594Still no calculationsIt's like you know you have no argument
>>28655609...dumbass coping spam wrenchlet
>BRO JUST DRIVE SOME RENTAL WITH A PLASTIC ENGINE AND SLUSHBOX LIKE MEnah I'm good
>>28655320He do be right
>>28655622Faggot that loves touching his car's STICK
>>28655623Oof, why didn't you get a 350z? Manual, bones, metal engine. Life is too short
>>28655624you are a ricer and a wrenchlet, you will never lead men
>>28655625Life is way too short to be settling for slow, clapped out mexcrimentmobiles. You couldn't pay me enough money to choose the SLOW transmission option and fiddle with my car's STICK, you grooming AIDS faggot.This shit is ALL PLASTIC btw
>>28655629I'm a lead at my job and make over 85k a year with 0 student loan debt. What about you, tranny?
>>28655636>85k/yGrim. I hope you're still in college and you're paying tuition with a summer job instead of student loans or parents' money
>>28655636only thing you lead is cocks into your mouth kek, fuckign ricer LMAO
>>28655632you literally cant shift kek, its not a matter of payment its a matter of ability, ricer
>>28655320I reject both answers; sequential shifters are the true choice for sik hektik kunts.
>>28655641t. coastie roastie rentoid houselet>>28655649t. totally straight man fantasizing about fag shitTell me all about those trannies you lead in roblox
>>28655654I've owned manuals and I'll never go back after experiencing the GOD HAND BRAND Porsche, with their industry leading PDK produced by ZF
>>28655503>If you drive a CVT with paddles then you should drive off the nearest cliff>tfw my subie is like that
>>28655320Why do almost no automatics these days have good stick shifters anymore? I really thought this would have been more popular than it was. It's definitely more fun than gay flappy paddles.
>>28655802i with DCTs had a shift just like a standard where you could manually select your gear, not just shift up/down, seems straightforward enough, DCTs are basically automated manuals anyway just with some extra flavorjust let me shift straight into 6th from 3rd or down to 2nd from 4 (yes i know you can long hold the downshift paddle and it'll put you into the lowest gear but it would be more fun an engaging, basically a manual without having to fuck about with a clutch and the ability to drive auto in traffic when you want)
Poors cannot afford paddles so they hate them. All the butthurt is plain industrial strength jealousy.
>>28655320Idk if there's anything more humiliating than seeing prndl on the dash lol, those little mode selectors too man id die
>>28655320>IM IN HECKIN SPORT RACING MODE!!!
>Cant dump the clutch and peel out side ways pretending I'm burt Reynolds I think not
>>28655923>IM IN HECKIN SPORT RACING MODE!!!Yeah, and? Manual cars have drive modes too, boomer.
>>28655438On a good car, the paddles are column mounted
>>28655919Kek manuals are an upcharge on most cars now. Even shitty cheap Nissans have paddles
>>28656312>On a good car, the paddles are nonexistantftfy, auto-only ricer
>>28656312Yes, but your hands move with the steering wheel while you steer, so you have to take one off it anyway (and it can't be the same one if each paddle is either up or down not both)
My Mazda3 GT got paddles, but I prefer to use the shift knob for sequential manual when I want to have fun rather than auto, am I lame or only half lame?
>>28656730you are a strange mischling, doomed to lukewarm tolerance at best from either camp
>>28656738Ill stick to full manual for virtual cars just in case I fuck up. Too paranoid for mistakes.
>>28655320Hey So basically I'm just not gonna drive an automatic I Know..... UGH I know... It's just that I'm not gonna drive one is all
>>28656738>plenty of similar replies in the thread>naah you're a strange one
>>28655320Meh, dey a'ight. I still prefer using a giant phallus to operate my vehicles, but to each his own.
>>28655320Autos are gay as fuck.
>>28655320Why don't you drive a race car then if the performance is the only thing you are looking for?
>>28655623thats a comical amount of oil lights and gauges
>>28655320>manual with extra steps
>>28655320>automatic with extra steps
>>28655597Being this uptight about transmissions is way more cringe than a sports car with an auto.You’re not Billy badass because you drive a manual.
I wonder if a manual normie could drive auto and lift their foot from gas at 15/30 mph, spin a fidget spinner with their hand to emulate rowing and get a similar amount of enjoyment?what's the actual source of normie manual emotion? You're grabbing a phallic object and stop accelerating for a second which that makes driving more enjoyable (?????)
>>28657278Fidget spinner won't let me 4->2 downshift then rev and drop the clutch in 2nd into a perfect powerslide. There are plenty of little things you just can't do in autos. I know what curves and ratios are, I always have exactly as much power as I want.Autos are frustratingly boring, so stimulation is a factor but not the only one. I've driven only manuals 20 years now sometimes with 2 hour (both ways) commutes in cities and I still find it much more exciting than auto. I like fun sensory things and there's nothing wrong with that. Autos often get totaled when the torque converter or clutches go because it's expensive to rebuild or replace - so manuals can last much longer for cheaper, just throw a new clutch in there every ~150k. My last car was at 300k miles running great on the stock trans and engine (2nd clutch) before getting rear-ended.
>>28657257autos are gay as fuck though I agree with him. imagine not having control of your machine and letting a robot shift for you lol gayyyyyyyy
