Actually, I like to let it downshift occasionally -- with my Random Tech 2.75" exhaust the sound is awsome as I slow down and then it downshifts and you can hear the little "afterfires" rumbling. Sounds good!

 

Nope, no nitrous.

No shiftplus

No sportlines.

Not better tires or anything like that.

Hack is completely stock people

Race him for money

 

you changed a lot to get where you're at. and, you paid an extra 850 for your auto a manual with the same mods walk you hard unless the driver sucks.

 

 

I didn't have to change anything in my transmission to not have to let off during shifting, that was my point

 

so? .

 

Come on, 90% of the posts on this site are Gibberish. If it wasn't for that you wouldn't have anything to do -- or read

 

oops i think i started that lol

 

the misinformation and lack of knowledge in here is astounding.

lose boost between shifts huh?

lol
a bottle of giggle juice does interesting things to people doesnt it.

 

dont do it...no point man...lol

more the reason we need you to stick around

 

If you're driving a stick with a turbo and you don't powershift (aka let off the throttle while shifting) your going to vent boost.

 

who doesn't powershift their turbo car if they're racing? only someone that doesn't know how to drive

 

Or someone who cares about their clutch..

 

if they care that much then they wouldn't be racing. and even if they lose boost between shifts, most cars unless the turbo is huge are going to build that boost back fast as hell anyways. it doesn't really make that much of a difference either way. i just think it's a silly argument for justifying buying an auto car.

 

i dont think either of these factors is enough to even worry about, though...

dont go off just numbers, budd... the manual trannys can handle quite some power.

 

the auto runs a good 1/2 second slower than the manual. it's a big difference. also, the 4 speed sucks.

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



BTW... as a total side not if you type AH into google images and then continue searches by an adding an H after each search its amazing some of the pics that come up. personally my favorite pages so far are Ahhhhhh and
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (26h's)

 

lol...........

 

the 1/2 second slower times is most likely from the lack of 5th gear. the 4 gears are longer than the 5 gears in a manual. i would imagine, anyways.

 

you hit 5th on the track????

 

that's exactly what it is. also, like stated, it weighs more. when you have a car putting down 12x whp, even a little extra weight will hurt performance.

 

lol, I'm sorry but are you serious?

The gear ratios aren't the same in a 4spd auto as a 5spd manual.

In my auto (@ redline):

1st gear - ~35mph
2nd gear - ~73mph
3rd gear - ~128mph
4th gear - ~???mph (est around 170 if it was even possible)

 

Hack was that a shot at me? I didnt think the manuals hit 5th on the 1/4 track. isn't the peak of their power in 4th? I didn't think the Cobalts had enough time on a 1/4 track to hit 5th

 

You need to stop to think about it for a second.

the manual isnt an auto with a 5th gear tacked on, ALL the gears are different.

The gears in the manual are shorter, therefore providing better acceleration.
