If the automatic is a normal automatic transmission, you don’t have constant power. It’s still the same principle as a manual – you have only one clutch. If it was a double clutch semi-automatic, then that would be a completely different case. I’ve driven quite a lot off-road, in heavy machines (6×6, 8×8, 10×10) though, and in the worst-case scenario, the automatics in those have a one second delay between gear changes. That’s why the automatic of the convoy was always the one to get stuck.
@ipod4info so you mean the car wont get fucked up if i hit the gas pedal at full right away in an automatic?
americans argue weather auto or manual nd in all other countries its straight up manual, its funny
@FRecon333 Retard alert!!! If the point of driving is not to get from point A to point B, then fossil fuels are “wasted” and “not spent.” You’re one of those asshole that takes everything for granted.
@GuSSxxxBuSS813 Haha. Nice way to put it. I second your opinion.
@LastXdeth No.
@ipod4info Manuals get better gas mileage and better performance. Usually about 10%. Which is a huge difference when you’re on a drag strip. I’ve never raced an automatic on the strip before. That’s because no one I’ve raced was dumb enough to race against manuals. ie: A 1991 Firebird Formula 305tpi AUTOMATIC has about 200 horsepower stock. The manual version of the same year, make, and model gets around 230 horsepower. Plus, how are you going to impress a girl with a girls car? AKA an Automatic
@corfroo
auto’s are meant for cruising man.
Automatic for win, u can drift and do fun shit way easier and faster take offs. And if u wanna impress a girl u sure as hell not stall ur manual
@GuSSxxxBuSS813 Hey asshole! people can drive whatever they want. Some people don’t drive for fun, but instead to get from point A to point B. Isn’t that the true purpose of automobile?
all you idiots have obviously never driven difficult off road before, you would realize pretty fast that driving manual off road is not even close to driving on road
i am sixteen and quite new to driving but i do prefer to drive stick. driving automatic is boring. i dont like just using gas and break. also, driving stick shift give you a certain level of manlieness. if you’re a guy and drive an automatic mustang or camaro or any car of that status, you are a straight up pussy.
You aussis sure do like your ARB stuff eh…
to have control??
automatic have the control
this video sucks because it inclines to auto trannys
manual is the best forget about giving up on u no computer here or filters!!
Thats the reason i dont want an automatic cause i hate how boring it is i like that control
thanks
