sorry but for some of the ppl that said **** you pussies that hate on sticks. lets race, i only have an auto. while youre trying to figure out how to launch or how to shift at teh correct time and not miss a shift. wait dont over think shifing, all **** kid you just missed a shift and lost even worse.
sticks can be fun if you know how to drive, also racing a stick is like and auto. you keep it floored and just slightly tap the gas and move the shifter. if you are pressing inthe clutch 100% you are costing yourself valuable time and speed. with saying that sticks and autos are just about the same once youre at WOT. you keep it there and just tap the clutch

sorry stick boys arent passing me with the same mods. shifter isnt what makes the driver. i know plenty of ppl that can rip a stock shifter and not have any issues and im one of them. if you can drive you can make anything work.

ok but as soon as that person gets a short throw and learns how to launch with the same mods as you..... Bye bye Quik............. and by the way i wrote that message about pussies and auto's cuz i was drunk... come on monday night football was last night.... i was faded

nope thats not always the case. its cause of the powerband. they have a very short and peaky power band when they make that kind of power. with those numbers they are usually way out of the torque band the motor was intended for. they are dyno queens and nothing else. yes some go fast but seriously if you need over 500 hp to go 10s something is wrong. unless youre a truck or a winebaego. a winebaego with 1300 hp could possibly run a 12 for crying out loud.

in my opinion yes, im contemplating th same swap in my 88 gt, lets look at some differences between the auto and the stick, AOD's, or in your case probably AODE, have 4 gears thats it even with a shift kit not much gas savings when compared with a 5 or even a 6 speed, cause of the gear difference, depends on driving plans and style if you run the strip most guys prefer the auto, if you cruise or do alot of highway driving most prefer stick

However, for gas savings (which you might have been referring to before) if you're nice to your 5spd car, then you will get better mileage than an aode.
Oh, and the 6 speed CAN get better mileage than the other 2, if you do a lot of interstate driving (that's the only practical place to use 6th gear) but from what i've heard its a lot more work, or just a bigger pain in the *** to install a 6 spd.
Good luck, whatever you decide.

if manuals are faster than autos, then why is a 1300hp supra auto faster than a 1300hp supra 6 spd?
