HOW SLOWER IS AN AUTOMATIC CAMARO THAN A STANDARD CAMARO WITH THE SAME HORSEPOWER AND EVERYTHING?WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR PURCHASING EITHER ONE?

 

advantages of the manual-

more control over the vehicle, slightly higher top end speed, adds "feel" to the ride

auto advantages-

longer transmission life, no replacing burnt clutches, easier to drive, less missed shifts, easier to drive in traffic, cant stall out


IMO, ( In My Opinion) i would buy an automatic trans vehicle. it all depends on what your looking for. i will post actual times

 

WHAT WILL BE BETTER FOR A RACING CAR?HOW FASTER WILL THE MANUAL BE THAN THE AUTOMATIC?

 

If you are talking about LT1 and LS1 cars (93-02) then for drag racing I would get an auto and put a 3500-4000 rpm torque converter in it, it will be faster than a stick and have less of a chance of breaking the rear end.

 

if you are going to be drag racing you will want an auto. you will get more HP to the wheels with a stick but auto's will give you better ET's.

 

WHAT ARE ETs?

 

ET = elapsed time. On another note is your keyboard broken? Typing in all caps is very hard to read and on forums like this it is considered to be yelling.

 

sticks are alota fun for auto cross and street racing cause i race these lil tuners all over theplace and tearum up with my 2800lbs car sticks are alota maitnece though ive broke 3 yokes and counting ring gear and burnt 2 clutches in my 2 mothes of driving the car granted i do have a 6o0 hp motor and i drive about 160 on the freeway and downshif every time i stop and slam gears on the up shift but sticks are fun OH YEA THEY GET YOU LOTS OF TICKITS I MEAN LOTS MY BOY TRAVIS HAS GOT 2 CAUSE OF MY CAR
