If your stick racecar doesnt break on its drive down

Rumor has it nhra pro stock is going to ban manuals. Not efficient enough.

[Martin0660]

Not efficient enough.

That ... Plus they could get more chicks in the class.

I'm only joking Troy, go ahead and go slushbox, just add it to the starting line discussion ;) entertain us :)

bob i'll just let off each time it shifts to sound like a manual

[Martin0660]

At least you can leave off idle with that autotragic

[blackfive-o]

I was always for the stick, till I got this 5.0 Fox with a C4 and reverse manual valve body. Best of both worlds....and nobody with a manual can match the quick shifts, unless you have a Lenco!

Not gonna lie, my next ride is gonna be an auto. I HATE driving a stick in traffic. I'll keep the Cobra but my urban commuter will definitely be an auto. I like being on Zombie mode driving to work and not shifting every 45 seconds.

Nice.

So I go with a manual valve body auto then I have to shift it

Agreed, kind of wish my beater Ranger was an auto. But driving to work everyday shifting keeps me awake and with it untill I have 3-5 cups of coffee.

If I pass 2 cars on my way to work it was a lot of traffic

Still might be above your skill level ... Stick with put it in drive, launch off idle, and listen to the side pipes sing for 17 or 18 seconds

1/4 mile in my experience: Stick = quicker, Automatic (Either manual or just leave it in drive) = more consistant. Everybody blows a shift once in a while with a stick. If you don't your not pushing it hard enough. It just sucks when you F the shift up in the 3rd or 4th round.

what is all this talk of stall convertors? do i need one? or maybe a twin disc clutch how do they work?

[AutomagicSN98]

I hate driving my automatic. I let off when i shift into gears so it sounds like a stick. But it does make for easy burnouts.

You will need a stall converter. The best thing to do is talk to the converter builder and tell him about the car and get one custom made. I don't know enough about twin disc clutches to say anything about them.

It all comes down to what your preferences are and what you plan on doing with the car. I had the same decision to make with the cobra, yes auto is more reliable, faster and can trans brake it, but in the end I could not put the th400 in the cobra. Build the car the way you want it and the way you think ull enjoy it the most!

[THE BIG KOALA]

I really can't believe you even asked that question.
