quick question which is faster stick or auto
I had both a stick and auto GT both were 01's I had the stick for about a week and it felt a lot faster the my automatic. I've been told that it only about .02 sec faster in a 1/4 mile but it sure didn't feel like it. So i just wanted to know for sure is an stick shift faster or is it so close that i shouldn't worry about it.
ps. before everyone ask i'm crazy about sun roofs and my stick didn't have one, and if i happen to leave a party buzzed i wanna be able to make it home with out killing the trans.
which seems like that every weekend. [:-]

stick is a bit faster but its also better if you go from a roll. On the highway an auto will be faster than a stick. you can control the RPMs as with the auto its controlled by the computer which always has it in the lowest RPM for gas reasons. I think in the quarter stock vs. stock the stick would be about 2 tenths faster. I have an auto and the best I ran stock was a 14.3 but 14.4 is where it was consistent.

yeah i dunno, its proven fact that to run an automatic transmission it can take away 15 rear wheel horse power. so like s281 said. the 5 spds have the autos outclassed stock for stock.
