[/qb][/QUOTE]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 [/qb][/QUOTE]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. [/qb][/QUOTE]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.. :patriot: [/QB][/QUOTE]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. [/QB][/QUOTE]
