Default Re: Feelings on 4spd vs. auto

I grew up shifting gears manually, and loved 4speeds with Hurst/comp shifters, but there was that Torquefite Trans. that was doing a job on 4speeds on the street and when GM Hooked up that M40 to it's solid/lifter engines--4speeds were getting beat in street races more often.--Plus you didn't break things as much as you would racing a 4speed.--Now all that said ,I still luv driving/shifting a good stick

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] I agree that autos can beat a 4 speed when you have mediocre drivers. But a 4 speed Musclecar/ Supercar is always worth 5 to 10 grand more than an automatic car.

I wasn't circling the wagons--just trying to give greg2001LS6 a possible reason for the high numbers of automatic supercars/musclecars--JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
