While you’re stepping down on your clutch and stroking your fag stick into gear, I’m already accelerating forward with both hands on the wheel. Why are you so gay?
This thread bores me, as do automatic transmissions and excel sheet benchracers.
>>28899423Is your g spot in your a hole?
In straight-line acceleration, automatic modes (especially in dual-clutch transmissions) often outperform manual shifting, though paddles allow for better control in corners and on tracks.Basically manual cars are for faggets who watch initial d.
>>28899421no better feeling than a paddle/button controlled manual. had the same system as most ferarris and bmws use in an alfa romeo and i could crusise at 90-100kmh and click down to second and the car didnt move, it just perfectly hit the right rpm for every gear. you can do that manually but its such an orgasmic feel when the car does it for you. its a man & machine moment, the machine does exactly what you tell it to do.
>>28899423I too have poser fatigue
manual funswerve
zf8 no lift shifts are absolutely sexual
paddle shifters only really matter at a high level racing. most manuals can whoop paddle shifters in homologation level cars that roll off the lot.
>>28899457Pretty much. Manual is fun, paddle shifting is not
If paddle shifting is so much faster why are there none that can do 5sec quarter mile times?
Fancy auto boxes are great if they have a programmed mode that isn't gimped. Very few will actually let you force gears pure driver control at all times, and no i dont mean over/under rev protection.Unrelated I was driving behind a Q50S yesterday and the faggot was double and triple downshifting instead of using his brakes. Real nice to be in traffic and not have any sign someone is slowing down that much.
>>28899421>slushbox good broNo thanks, and you're a faggot
My car isn't supposed be fast, just a careful measured approach...
>>28899421>Put in gear, drive forward immediately Vs>Step on gas. Wait. Electric gas pedal has to think. Engie starts to rev. Wait. Transmission shifts. Yawn.>Both hands on the wheel. Fag
>>28899421While you are waiting for yellow to turn green, im already in first and moving
>>28899421auto is soulless. Driving is supposed to be fun.
>Have pdk>Press gas, drive forward immediately
>>28899588>engine breaking = badamerican moment
>>28899588Stop driving in traffic like a mouthbreathing negro and you might have the awareness of a potato without flashing lights trying to get your attention before you cause a crash.
>>28899421>both hands on the wheel.Kekd nu-male, wrenchlet
>manual vs paddle shifters>paddle shifterslmao just call it automatic
ZF8 retards that think it’s even remotely as great as a proper DCT are the funniest nerds on this board. ZF8 slushboxes are so smooth and soulless they exclusively belong in grocery getters. DCT feels like a proper sequential but that’s too rough for soccermoms
>>28899875Dcts are a worse invention than slushboxes.
I noticed there's similarities between incels and bus riders. Incels never been in a relationship so they can only judge women based off their looks. Bus riders never drove a fun car so they can only focus on data. They don't have a frame of reference for what's actually important about driving for fun.
>>28899890that’s exactly what a poorfag would say
>>28899875dcts cant into trailer hauling and stop & go traffic.inching fordward with dct is the same as raping a clutch. For just driving its the best available gearbox type
>>28899916Like I said DCT is for sports cars.Get a slushbox for poorfag activities
>>28899921>DCT is for sports carsmeme. most dcts are cucked to low torque shitboxes
>>28899922just because retarded cars like the GTI tries to be something is not, doesn’t mean a, let’s say R8, isn’t great when paired with a DCT
>>28899928thats the high price exeption. all other new audis since like 2015 had the dsg limited to 400nm tunes. Previous cars were notorious for blowing their gearbox to the point of sullying the entire conecpt of dsg'sAnd that hasnt changed, Even the 2026 RS5/RS6 have the zf8
>>28899940the current ///M cars use slushboxes too and it kills the motorsport vibe. you can’t feel the shifts which is great when commuting but it ruins the race car larp immersion. The R8 was just a random example.Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, McLaren, and of course the fastest car on the burgerking, the Black Series.
ZF is about to go bankrupt and I can’t fucking wait.
zf will never die
>>28899928>let’s say R8, isn’t great when paired with a DCTWhat's the point of getting a v8 or 10 and not having any control over the engine?
>>28899873They can't dude, gotta tart that shit up somehow
>>28899421Lads.I love manual Transmissions, but my left foot is way faster on track.My right leg was all smashed by a tractor when I was a kid so it's not super accurate braking wise.These 7 speed DCT are now swappable.
Manuals hold value way better because its what actual car enthusiasts want.
>>28899625>Step on clutch. Wait. Electric hydraulic pump has to engage. Shift into gear. Step on gas. Wait. Electric gas pedal has to think. Engine starts to rev. Lift up from clutch. Wait. Clutch has to engage. Lift from gas. Wait. Rev overhang. Press clutch again. Wait. Electric hydraulic pump has to engage. Shift into 2nd. Shift denied. Shift into 3rd. Release clutch. Get t-boned by Stacy in her 3 tons SUV because it took you 3 business days to go across a junction.
>>28899421Luv me manual, simple as
>>28900368ah yes, that’s why like 90% of actual sports cars that are being driven on track are automatic, despite having a manual option. Such as the GT3 RS.
>>28900759>that’s why like 90% of actual sports cars that are being driven on track are automaticAre they?
>>28900550This is what mutts actually believe.
>>28900769yes
>>28899421Driving should be a skill not something you exist in temporarily as it drives itself places. If you cannot drive manual you have zero reason to posses a license. Efficiency be damned.
>>28899421Congrats, you'll make it to the next stop light 0.5 seconds faster, vein pulsing in your forehead as you desperately try to claw every millisecond you can. Meanwhile I'll be having fun every inch of the way and be there before the light turns green anyway.
>>28900550Insane cope
>>28899421automatic transmissions are gay and boring
Depends on the car. >Drifting?Manual. >Slow car? Manual. >Fast car? DCT. >soccermoms?slushbox (zf8)
>>28900854legit>have 9 speed auto>frequent delays in power delivery while transmission decides what it needs to do>designed for people who can't think and just want to go somewhere>have 6 speed manual>does what i tell it, when i tell it>designed for people who know how power delivery works
>>28900996>6 speedgaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Manual is obsolete. There is no usecase beyond it being "fun".
>>28901034>There is no usecase beyond it being "fun".Okay? Your point?Maybe we should mandate a limit EV acceleration? Oh why not? Because it's fun.
>>28901044euro 7 with tire dust emssion will take care of that
>>28899588>Real nice to be in traffic and not have any sign someone is slowing down that much.Are you retarded? Your sign that he's slowing down is the observable fact that you are getting closer to him without speeding up. I'm American but holy fuck, Americans are stupid.
>>28901049Yeah probably.EVs dump so much energy to do their famous drag pulls, why should that be allowed if it's just for show and fun? :p
>>28899588>Real nice to be in traffic and not have any sign someone is slowing down that much.If you rear end someone that's on you. It used to be that all.cars were manual. I'll downshift to a stoplight with no brakes. I'll sit there no brakes at a stoplight because I don't need to hold the brake. If you can't see a physical car in front of you, that's a you problem and you shouldn't be on the road.
If a paddle shifter is what you want you should just drive an electric car. Then you'll never need to shift at all.
>>28899421>accelerating forward with both hands on the wheel.You need both hands on the wheel to accelerate... what kinda fag-ass manlet are you. Does having one hand off the wheel make you feel scared or some shit?
>>28901053I don't understand. The idea of an EV is to be efficient and environmentally friendly. But for components to handle the power and a battery large enough for the energy dump you are just wasting resources. And electrifying everything on the car including the door handles is just wasting energy. >HUURRR DURR small drawEverything adds up.
>>28901590that doesn’t make sense retard
>>28901629Ok boomer. When you corner at 60mph and drive like a man, you can talk.
>>28899832>>28899846>>28901052>>28901063One of the most difficult things for the human visual system to pick up on are apparent size changes due to distance decreasing. Without brake lights you're adding a half second to someone's reacti9n time, especially in normal everyday traffic driving situations where we are conditioned to expect a brake light when someone is slowong down.Your argument here is basically the same as>so what if my 6000 lumens of LED are blinding people, fuck 'emStop being dead inside.
fuck automatics
>>28899466>zf8>no lift shift Kek you stab at the throttle like a retard to get your cuckbox to shift huh AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, motherfucker said no lift shift in a automatic. ROMFLAMAHAHAHAHAHA
>>28901764no i slap the t-bar into manual mode like i slap your mother during sex then donkey punch that shit 4x to block shift down to 5th to accelerate thru a turn all without ever lifting my foot from the throttle. sometimes i use the paddles to do this if i'm doing something incredibly american like eating a hamburger.
MF said no lift shift in a slushbox ROMFLAMAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>28901764>>28901774>man whose first car had a 4l60e, experiencing his second transmissiongetting some boss baby vibes from this guy
>>28901774My transmission is from the fucking 1980s, updated with a gear doubler to have 6 speeds from 4, and electronic control. In "manual mode" it WOT shifts faster than you or I could WOT powershift a stick.Bonus points: it isnt damaged from it like a manual is.The ZF8 is twice as good as that old piece of shit.
>>28901801>This level of cope.
>>28901819>reddit timmys first greentext
>>28901801>In "manual mode"ROMFLAMAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAa fuckign automatic romflamahahaha, what happens when you press your sport mode button little ricer, does a clutch pedal pop out from under the dash kek. Faggot wrenchlet
>>28901826*yawn*get new material
>>28901833>my heckin Chinese cartoon pornos bro!!!kys faggot wrenchlet, ricer
>>28901864
Imagine churching up an automatic and your car runs 14s in the 1/4 mile like it's not slower than 30 year old manual pony cars. What sort of autism causes this kind of cope? Remember this meme about slow 2Vs, this guys car is slower than this.
>>28901898
>>28901906>b-b-but muh heck'n "no lift shifts">runs a 14 at less than 100mph
nobody wants to drive a 30 year old ford piece of shit no matter what transmission is in it you dip fuck trailer trash flour-dusted jiggaboo
>>28899421it don't matter cause my engines bigger than yours any damn ways faggot op
>>28901911Bros no lift shitting with a slushbox oh my god dude
>>28901939
>>28900872>Fast car? >DCT.This anything more than a six speed manual in anything less than a supersports is min maxing bullshit
>>28900759lmao ok poser faggot.
>>28899421paddle shifters are for people who are too stupid to drive a manual but don't want to be seen driving an automatic.
>>28901757distance must be a foreign concept to amerigoys
>>28902319i too can measure distance accurately by just looking at the car in front of me
>>28902321if you cant you unironically have no buiseness being on the road.>accurately the fact you even think this has to be accurate speaks volumes about your cognitive abilities. It doesnt have to be accurate, these numbers are the absolute minimum distance for not niggerish driving, nobody cares if its 125m instead.We even have these trainingwheels that are autistically spaced in 50m segments for the likes of you. Normal country road speed = two segments distance
>>28902090paddle shifters are for engine breaking because kick downs are gay
>>28902090>don't want to be seen driving an automatic.Uhh hate to break it to you but "paddle shifter" = automatic
>>28902327Do automatics even have engine braking?
>>28901660>The idea of an EV is to be efficient and environmentally friendly.That's wrong. The idea of an EV is to give the owner the ability to virtue signal about driving something that is environmentally friendly.What the car actually does is of no importance.
>>28902326you’re slow as fuck
>>28902349yes that's what the 2, 1, or B positions on the shifter are for. You can actually manually control any automatic gear box it's just usually clunky.for example on a ford a4od you can select first and second directly, drive for third then hit the OD switch for fourth. Used to manually shift my Volvo 850 with the aisin auto too. Instead of waiting for the throttle kickdown I would just smash it back into 1 to overtake people. It doesn't actually go into 1st when you do this, but it goes down as far as it safely can without over revving the engine.
>>28902367>it's usually clunkyBecause downshifting an auto still needs some pedal kick. Doesn't fully take it away and its overly sensitive to the throttle but it works similar.I do it all the time, my 5-4 and 4-3s would be horrible if I dont blip the throttle.>>28902349Why wouldn't it
>>28902410what the fuck are you talking about no it doesn't, you can completely override the kickdown by manually shifting.
>>28902415Ok whatever retard
>>28902362keeping 50m distance doesnt make you slower than keeping 5m distancepost skin
>>28902415I'm talking about manual-mode downshifting.When you blip the throttle the right amount at the right time it doesn't jerk or feel harsh.What have you been talking about? PRND2L only? Those aren't made to work like that and shouldn't be treated as on demand selectable gears.
>>28902349yes and not utilising it wears your breaks twice as fast.
>>28902470>Im talking about manual-modeKekd
Dude said he no lift shifts his automatic
>>28902608Milhouse is not a meme.
>>28899421>paddle princessshift denied>stick chadWant 2nd at 120mph? Sure, not my problem. Give 'er the ketchup.
>>28902348people who use paddle shifters don't know that
>>28899421So basically, automatics are gay as fuck and any man that's not disabled driving an automatic is a cuck. Anything else I should know?
>>28903752I have autism does that count as a disability?
>>28903756Why do all you nu-males love claiming you have autism? I don't get it, is it like fishing for sympathy or pity? Why not just pick up a wrench and do some high-T shit?
