I agree. I like manuals a lot and I prefer them however an automatic setup right can be just as fun. All you gotta do is kit them, use heavy duty clutches or more of them and install a manual valvebody (cancels all automatic shifts so it must be shifted manually) along with a ratchet shifter and a high stall converter, they can be pretty badass. Of course, autos are more expensive to modify and more expensive when they break. Also, if you lived in San Francisco you wouldn't bad mouth autos at all. I dont mind driving in traffic with a stick but some people do and it can get annoying. ------------- http://solipsism.ath.cx - solipsism.ath.cx |

You and the other guy brought up autos in sports cars before anyone said anything else. However, if a truck is seeing offroad use then it shouldn't have an auto in it at all. To say that autos are pointless in any type of street vehicle is very ignorant. ------------- http://solipsism.ath.cx - solipsism.ath.cx |

no one said they were completely pointless, what we said was they have no business in a sports car, unless its something special like the new audi, no gears, or the automatic where there are two shift plates, a primary, and a secondary, say your in 4th gear and your about to get into 5th gear, the secondary one is already in gear and ready to take over, you shift, and there is no lag no momentary loss of speed, nascar and the STI and the like use manuals for a reason ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

Autos for your uneducated minds are actually BETTER for EXTREAM heavy
weight when done RIGHT. There is a reason most ALL HEAVY
Equipment runs automatic transmishions. A Torque Converter is actually used as a Torqe Multiplyer as well offering more gear ratios that a comparable Stick Shift. I happen to prefeer the controle of a stick shift my self (Although my truck is auto  ) to say that autos serev no purpose in anything other than a Mini Van is PURE IGNORANCE.I happen to be a Mechanic and have spent some time in a Auto Transmishion rebuild shop for the Transit buses and happen to find these trans superior than most stick when looked at from the maintanec point of veiw. Several of these trans would run 2 million kms without being opened up for anything just changed the fluid and filters. While a stick **edited** in the same application would have gone through at LEAST 2-3 clutches. Also ever heard of the UNI MOG a VERY universal 4x4 utility truck many of witch are AUTOS and make some of if not the best LARGE 4x4s ESPECIALLY when decending Steep downgrades. AND if you spend you vehicals live pulling boats in and out of the water go with the auto because youd be burnig clutches left and right with a stick. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

 Now that we're on the truck subject anyways I thought I'd show off my new truck. Just bought it a month ago, 97 GMC Sonoma. Step up sides, Tannuea cover,57k miles, 5 spd manual, 4.3 liter high output v6. No rust whatsoever, he pretty much had this thing parked. New fulda assuro tires, along with new breaks,battery and clutch. Got this all for $5,900 from a County Police officer. EDIT: As you can see there are some smudges and the cover is pretty dirty, but not anymore. I used some touch up paint and gave it a good wash/wax. -------------

I have 2 4x4s to myself...A Chevy 5.7 350 and a Nissan 2.4L love both of them to death. For all you people that think its wimpy to have a automatic tanny in a 4x4 your dead wrong.

I have drove several models from GMC and Chevy. They are great vehicles for their intended use. Auto 4 wheel works excellent but I'm still not a fan of the anti-lock brake performance. It still, to this day is calibrated and has the same flaws that it has had for many years. It takes away some capabilities that are hard to describe in emergency situations (i.e a deer jumping in front of you). When you completely mash on the brake it's almost like you accelerate. I've had alot of experience with Jeep's and they can do things off road that alot of other vehicles can't do but they are top heavy on the road. I'd get more road experience before buying a Jeep. |
