If you have been on this site very any length of time you would see most of us dont go for the big ass body kits and the sound systems.. most of us go for the performance side of the scene... You shouldn't try and be the f**ktard that tries to go against the grain in all the forums just to be "Different" I mean its like dressing like a goth to get attention... Dont come to our boards and bash what we like because you "Like it that way"... dont come here to cause trouble. We like to be laid back here and have no time for people who want to stir up the s**t
Muuch Better!

actually on my car if your going around 65 miles an hour, it will not let you downshift two gears. i can only down shift one gear at a time, unless im going 35 mph in 5th. hey if you want to buy all that s**t that makes your car more like a manual tranny without actually being a manual tranny, then by all means, its your money. and if you shift your car by yourself, why dont you just go tiptronic? i mean you seem to be wasting your money anyway. so why not do that?
what did he buy that makes it more like a manual?? he just shifts his automatic by hand, he didnt buy anything, unless i missed somethin.
team 4r... thank you very very much.
i got an automatic, but im not sayin its better than a manual. i geuss an auto would be better on a 1/4 mile track cuz they can shift faster. manuals are better imo cuz they are just more fun to drive.
why is that wrong? they shift faster. Instead of taking your foot off the gas, and pushin in the clutch, shifting the gear, letting go of the clutch, then puttin the gas pedal back down, it just does it for you quick...so i dont see how thats wrong.
shaundrake your so f**kin smart........you fag
wiggerman got the right idea.yeah my first response is f**ktard is my word lol, please use proper international copyright laws...
ok next what you said shundrake makes sense, but not common sense i mean come on if a automatic is so much better please answer this one simple question....Why the f**k do you shift it like a manual??? thats my only questions, and whenn im actually awake ill respond to your load of bs.....

1991 civic lx.

2003 corolla le
4 speed auto
stock
the corolla has a 135 hp dohc engine with toyotas version of vtec (vvti) my civic, as i said earlier is likely pushing just under 100hp and its a sohc.
The corolla i just described is a friend of mines car. We raced and i beat him by about 1/2 a car length. If that car was a stick i garuntee it would have smoked me.
auto trannies may good high end power which is fine for freeway racing and s**t, but most people judge their cars by 1/4 mile times and stoplight racing.
and before you make generalizations about our cars and s**t, yeah i have a bangin system, but i dont have any body kits or worthless jdm goodies for that matter, and the "wheels" i added are lighter than my stock steelies (civic vx rims)
Ok first I would like to say, that yes some of my generalizing comments were uncalled for so I retract those and apologize. Also I think I must have dropped some credientials, and that's lame but it's like everyone was doing the whole name calling thing so I thought I'd jump in on the fun.
If you're hating on me, if I make you angry, and you resort to name calling, that's a good indication that you have run out of counterarguments, reached the boundaries of your wit and you've lost the argument. Especially when you use sexist epithets. I guess that kind of Klan mentality is permitted by the mods here or maybe they haven't seen it yet.
There's some confusion so I'll sum everything up.
I never said automatics are better. I said clutches suck. Automatics suffer from drivetrain losses and that can be overcome to some extent. So how about we ditch the antiquated clutch and make an automatic that allows you to control the shifting? Oh yeah, they're doing that already, its called sequential.
If you have an automatic and it allows you to control all gears, why not, and what makes shifting intrinsic to one or the other? It's not copying, it's using it as it was made!
You can hold down the brake and throttle at the same time, getting the RPM high enough that the tires break loose which is too high for being fast but just right for showing off. A lot of you sound like you've never driven an automatic hard in your life.
It's funny that you mention the Corolla. I actually have a lot of experience with that car. I put a 20 valve 4 cylinder DOHC quad throttle variable valve timing engine into my Corolla. Then I bought a 1.5 SOHC Civic and I'm happier! The US version Corolla is very very toned down and it's not a car to be taken seriously, despite whatever the specs may say, Corollas are slow, no matter which trans. It's not the fact that its an auto, its the gearing. Also, that's not a good way to judge a car. A good driver in a bad car will beat a bad driver in a good car, not to mention all the other variables besides the type of transmission. And you got it backwards. Auto's have a lot of torque multiplication down low but actually have less power than manuals, especially in the high end.
And yes I'm being very sarcastic throughout this post cuz so many people said "blah blah blah". I'm sure you're all tired of hearing from me so stop responding!

this is the funniest thread ive read all day keep it going i need more to read
timmy the smiley icon says "automatics are gay" 
well civic hatch, theres some threads funnier then this...but i think they are long gone, or just buried hella deep
