Twin screw s/c stays on the boost all the waaaay.
Nobody shifts faster than the computer on a "built" AOD

pro is right...when the rpms drop so does the boost...and 5-speeds are better imo

Unless your a pro level driver AND the trans has been Pro-Shifted (Google if you don't know) there is no way you will shift as fast as an auto with a full manual VB.

+1. Also, maybe I'm ignorant, but can't a good driver get through the gears just a quickly as someone with an Auto. If I didn't care about my tranny, I could bang gears like it was an auto. I used to drive like that all the time in various other cars. At any rate, I've never taken my car to the track, and wouldn't drive an automatic if you paid me.

. I wouldn't have thought that the time that it takes to shift would make a car slower, compared to an auto tranny which makes the car slower to begin with. I guess if we're talking about dedicated race cars with built trannies, it's probably different--I wouldn't know...I've never owned one. I've just never imagined losing time in a race during the time it takes to shift. Mind you, I'm no racer...just a man who can shift fast when necessary.

My car is an auto and I really wish I would have bought a 5 speed. I'm thinking about buying a Camaro next August and it will be a 6 speed.
Here is a very fast manual car.

While it is 100% true that an auto will soak up moe power than a stick what most people don't think about or realize is that anfter market torque converter will multiply torque, in some cases as much as 2.5 times at launch. I am not talking about dedicated drag either, my street car has a 4000 rpm stall in it and it takes a 6 speed with about 50 morte rwhp to beat me in the 1/4. Of course roll races are diferent but they are also ghey so I really don't care.

RE: WTF???
I have two auto 5.0's and both are OK. I LOVE them at 7 oclock in the morning if Im taking it to work sitting in traffic but hate it when Im trying to have a lil fun on the street. But thats what stalls and vb's are for
