LIESSSSSSS!!!

Do you want a medal?

merely pointing out the people know how to drive clutches here

LIES AGAIN!!!

clutch, stick, row the gears, etc... all slang terms for cars with manual transmissions

an automatic has a clutch too. why would you say drive a clutch if both have a clutch?

because there's no clutch pedal on an automatic

you'd still be driving a clutch if you have an automatic though. it does have one

I don't even know what to say to your stupidity at this point

Most Automatic cars have a clutch which is automated, no need for a clutch pedal.

1.) I already said autos don't have clutch pedals
2.) If you want to get that technical autos have multiple clutches in them
3.) I cannot believe you've never heard the expression "my car's a clutch"

Ignore them. I've never heard that expression and I got it right away...

I said "most" because others use torque converters (what you are talking about).

and no, i never heard of "clutch" as a car, i'm not saying you're wrong tho. i was just pointing out the facts in this disagreement.

even in manuals now you can upgrade to dual or triple disk clutches that have multiple clutch disks in them to hold more power. In autos they use multiple clutches so that the transmission can shift without ever fully disengaging power. One clutch disengages and shifts while the other stays engaged so the auto can change gears without truly disengaging. Even in torque converters there are a couple clutches, they don't actually transfer engine power, but they make the torque converter work

Yes, Manual clutches have multiples disks. Yes, that is the Double-clutched automated manual. i know this?

Know what; I'm done, I'm out

Alright, but i was just trying to help. The kid was trying to tell you there is a clutch in most automatic cars so you can also call those "clutches". I was trying to tell you his claim is true, since my own car has a clutch, even tho it's automatic.
And by the way, I never heard of torque converters with clutches, since they do the same thing, which is to connect the transmission to the engine. Most use turbines, fluids and shit.

Most car thieves can't drive manuals

I had one of those made to be put in a '69 el camino ss, thanks to peyote and a oddly placed tree it never made it into the vehicle so in a box in storage it sits

Camaro, I...

It's called a stereotype (but I'm sure you knew that) and everyone does it. American's like to say that us Brits have terrible teeth. And mostly everyone says black people like to reproduce without claiming responsibility towards that child etc... No need to be offended, But I can see where you're coming from. (and most people who are like "Hur Dur, 'Mericn's r fat" are most likely 12year olds" =]

I hate stereotypes. Everytime i read someone calling us Scots alcoholics i spit out my whisky.

Ha!

yeah I figured it was a stereotype I just didn't see the comedy in it though, I'm not offended by it because I don't fall into any of them I just couldn't see them but I guess from an outside perspective it would be the same thing. thanks for making me less of a butthurtfag

Chef Ramsey is my hero.

I agree, but as long as your drag car is manual it still counts. Racers who use auto transmissions in their dragster IMO are just lazy. I mean I can see where you'd might want an auto on the surface streets, but on the track its just a long line and all the gears have been gone through by 3/4 of the way anyways.

csb

advantages:

diver is more aware of surroundings
lighter weight transmission
simpler to repair
prevents left foot braking

This is like comparing vinyl records to mp3

have you ever driven one?

Not exactly true with new double clutch packed automatics they're supposed to be better than most professional drivers

I'll remember that when I become a street racer? Automatic can go at least 20 miles over any speed limit, doesn't need to be faster than that for me. gg

you drive a stock honda civic manual, and i drive a supercharged 3.8L ford thunderbird auto ....your manual aint going to bet me. its not just the tranny its everything else. oh and not to mention a manual will never outshift a auto

Why are you saying this to me

im saying it in general. fucking transmission fanboys. each other is good and bad. i prefer auto's have fun doing a brake torque in a manual, then again i love double clutching the beast, as for fuel auto's are so much better then shift the car properly and as for the "i dont need a computer chip doing my driving" people they are just fucking stupid that chip calculates millions of times a second to shift that gear. and i know all about 'feeling' the car and road...and the computer chip doesnt hurt that one bit

You can still by full auto transmissions without computers integrated into it. i cant stand electronic control on cars, it makes it 10 times more expensive to build and work on. You can get more power out of a carburetor than you ever will for cheaper than it would to build say a Chevrolet LS series engine. Just my opinion though.

ok heres where it gets fun because i grew up with two gear head brothers, and so became one.my only thing is while my brother had to have old fords, and my other brother new chevy's i was indifferent. would i take a full blown 1970 dodge charger, or a lamborgini? when comes to getting teh power to the pavement you cant beat a computer, but when comes to power, sound you cant beat muscle. im the guy who would take a 440 supercharge it and throw it in the back of a ferrari F40. we are talking two sides of teh same coin, 'performance' though when it comes down to it. you will never find a muscle car that can beat the GTR around the nurenburg track..wont happen. and i have seen guys try. the closest one was a dude driving a all wheel drive 2008 mustang pumping out 800 horse..he was 13 seconds off on his closest lap.. but to me perfomance aint shit. i dont care if my car can break 2o miles per hour. i go for the looks, the feel, and the sound. thats why i laugh when i see little queers in there honda civics with an exhaust package and they think they drive rockets, the beast would eat them up and shit them out and has many many times

I agree with this COMPLETELY. Im a tad different though. I would rather have that 440 in my truck :P. but muscle cars were built for the 1/4 mile, as that was what everyone wanted, the fastest in a straight line for drags on the track and late night races from stoplight to stoplight. Foreign cars were designed for track performance.
