Next time your at the track the same time I am. I'll let you dive my car. You still have to manually shift ever gear. The t-brake is on par with, dropping the clutch.. Only difference really. Is not needing to push in a clutch, on the gear changes. No nos passes... I don't want shit in my drivers seat.. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

LOL ok you said it! I'm quoting this for proof! But see I respect the power you make N times you run but I'd enjoy it more running the same times in a true stick shift car.

i started off with an AOD in my 91LX.
threw in 4:10's and shift kit, full suspension, then slapped on a V3 super charger... and still decided to do a 5 speed swap at the end.
All of my previous cars over the last 15 years (3 mustangs, and a C5Z... oh, and a honda prelude =) were manual and I figured i'd get an AOD since all I really cared about was a super clean fox. Then the mod bug hit, and it was all down hill from there.
This is me beating a dead horse, but it's all about personal preference and I prefer manual.

Lol, I would love to see you try to go that quick with a 5 speed and see what happens, but I do believe notch1320 is trying it with his new setup, and it came be done but it's going to be a crazy ride

And what point exactly would that be????
I've yet to see an NHRA Pro Stock car qualify with an auto. Follow NMRA Coyote stock class and see who's faster at the power level.... Just a couple examples that the general CA Fords naysayers may be familiar with, or can research with a simple Google search. Let me know when you find an auto car at the top of the pack in either class......that pretty much covers the under and well over 500HP reference used in this thread.
Most people either can't drive, or don't want to put the time, effort and money to make a stick car work properly.
When the T-5 shits the bed, people either give up and go auto, or try the numerous boxes Tremec has available to include a T56. In the majority of those cases, the Tremec they just spent decent money on fails, and their 100% against stick cars from that point on, and spend the next few months sorting out converters.
I'm a while out from getting back to the track, but when I do, feel free to stop by and check things out. I might just change your viewpoint...

Dumbest shit ive read! Some guys just get tired of shifting and prefer to chill and put it in drive and go. I have a 89 gt auto and i guarantee ill give any 5spd a run for its money. Somewhat stock but its a goer!!
Auto or stickshift. Its just a preference. 5speeds just feel faster cause u shift when u want....over rated in my opinion.
Lol, someone let me borrow a stock 87-93 5 speed 5.0 so I can race this slow 89 GT auto.
LOL

um...do you happen to follow NHRA on ANY sunday? Cause about 16 cars every weekend are stick shift cars that qualify well below a 7 sec pass bud...
In my opinion an auto mustang can def be a fun car to cruise and extremely consistent at the track,shit OP and myself were at the track a couple weeks ago and his Gt with an auto,bbk intake,exhaust and gears was making several 5 spd cars look slow and they had equal or more mods lol,not one of them cats could drive to save there life..so if you do have a 5spd and that's what your all about better know how to row em'!!

I would hardly consider an $8000 clutchless manual transmission a "manual" transmission. It's as manual as my C4 reverse manual trans. Those Pro Stock and 7 second cars only move a shift handle, the same way I do. Not too many people I've heard of trying to coordinate shifting and clutching 3000-4000 HP cars.

There are maybe two 7 sec cars on this board, and the top ten of the Fast 50 here really doesn't mean shit when it comes to the stick vs auto debate.
A clutchless trans is NOT the same as a "manual" valvebody auto trans. Pure comedy there...lol

So what does a guy with a clutchless trans have to do to change gears that is different from manual auto trans?
And why doesn't the top 10 here have anything to do with the debate? We have a good cross section of regular guys here, no? And as far as the big boys are concerned, that's pretty much all automatic but for a few classes.
Edit: Okay, never mind. I thought you were talking about the fastest cars but re-read what you said and you aren't talking about the fastest cars.

John, I am having this debate with some other friends right now. I'm on the same wave length as you are.. If I don't pull my shifter... It won't shift. So it can't be a automatic.. Because it won't automatically shift on it's own. Making it a manual shifted trans only. It just uses eternal fluid to allow it to shift. Where as the "stick shifted manual" uses eternal shifter forks, to shift it. Neither of which will shift, if you don't pull the shifter handle/lever...
Now why don't I have a stick shifted manual? I can't push the clutch in as fast as I can move the shifter.. And after 3 passes. My ankle is the size of a grape fruit. Now if someone wants to drop the coin on a clutchless manual trans for me. Please do! I'll have it in the car in a day..

so are you saying manual is the best way to get down the 1/4?
How many 6-7second manual cars have you seen make a pass?
In some cases/classes yes...both can be fast.
I have seen a few... Why are you referring to only 6-7 second cars?
There are maybe two 7 sec cars on this board, and the top ten of the Fast 50 here really doesn't mean shit when it comes to the stick vs auto debate.
A clutchless trans is NOT the same as a "manual" valvebody auto trans. Pure comedy there...lol
So what does a guy with a clutchless trans have to do to change gears that is different from manual auto trans?
And why doesn't the top 10 here have anything to do with the debate? We have a good cross section of regular guys here, no? And as far as the big boys are concerned, that's pretty much all automatic but for a few classes.
Edit: Okay, never mind. I thought you were talking about the fastest cars but re-read what you said and you aren't talking about the fastest cars.
John, I am having this debate with some other friends right now. I'm on the same wave length as you are.. If I don't pull my shifter... It won't shift. So it can't be a automatic.. Because it won't automatically shift on it's own. Making it a manual shifted trans only. It just uses eternal fluid to allow it to shift. Where as the "stick shifted manual" uses eternal shifter forks, to shift it. Neither of which will shift, if you don't pull the shifter handle/lever...
Now why don't I have a stick shifted manual? I can't push the clutch in as fast as I can move the shifter.. And after 3 passes. My ankle is the size of a grape fruit. Now if someone wants to drop the coin on a clutchless manual trans for me. Please do! I'll have it in the car in a day.. [/QB]
I think I understand what notch1320 is talking about. There are some classes where a manual trans is more practical then an auto trans. Less parasitic loss taking up HP. The percentage of loss has a much greater effect on lower HP cars then higher HP cars so a manual makes more sense.

Auto= for girls unless your 9.99 or faster
Dumbest shit ive read! Some guys just get tired of shifting and prefer to chill and put it in drive and go. I have a 89 gt auto and i guarantee ill give any 5spd a run for its money. Somewhat stock but its a goer!!
Haha this shit is funny, dudr thinks cuz he has gears intake and exhaust his shit's fast
Auto or stickshift. Its just a preference. 5speeds just feel faster cause u shift when u want....over rated in my opinion.
Lol, someone let me borrow a stock 87-93 5 speed 5.0 so I can race this slow 89 GT auto.
Ha try it
Setup it, I will walk you
Haha this dude thinks his shit is fast with some gears exhaust and intake, typical cali ford's 5.0 owner
