dayne Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Manual for me!! Though drive my parents SS sometimes which is auto.. and thats still fun.. though i use the 'manual gear selection' insted, or power button:P hehe either of the two I also noticed when heading in or out of corners it wasnt as good as manual, as its to hard to get the gears/rpm right. maybe it just takes lots and lots of practise Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79105-do-you-drive-a-manual-or-an-automatic-car/page/2/#findComment-1443266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zymotic Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Prefer manual but I bought a tiptronic auto and saved myself $5-6k on the same car with manual. The tiptronic is about half way as good as a manual compared to just auto.

xRHETTx Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Manual. I think i'd fall asleep if i had to drive an auto. There just crap, full stop. They are for towing and hardcore drag racing, and double amputees. Autos better for city driving? Nah, you guys are just slack. I love changing gears.

bazr33 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Manual here, i had a auto in my r33 for around 9 months and it was good but powering around corners at speed, and then it changes gear on ya, is abit annoying and not knowin when its goin to kick ya out. just got my r33 changed to manual and have noticed more responsiveness in the manual and gained power auto 166.9rwkw on 10psi manual 170.1rwkw on 8 psi and a slippin clutch so had more to go. the slippage clutch problem has been solved for now. also im moddin my car abit, and was tryin to find an ecu to suit the auto and the power im wantin i couldnt find shit, unless i went for a piggyback or a safc or something like that later on i might be replacing clutches and stuff, but whoopee doo, its more fun to drive i have more control over the car, can whack it down a gear when i want Only thing i loved about the auto is burnouts, and traffic driving, and being able to have a drink while driving haha !!!

Wink Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I drive an auto R33. If I had a choice I'd go manual (went auto for budget reasons) but auto is very relaxing to drive and to use the RB25DET power in traffic is just like an on/off switch. The worst thing about getting an auto R33 is that aftermarket computers (eg PowerFC) don't accomodate for auto gearboxes.

someonestolecc Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 manual for general use = linearity and predictability for throttle control. auto (manualised auto) for drag = when that extra .001 matters with the big v8.
