Fcw75 Hypersonic October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 (edited) I saw this paragraph from an article on July Torque magazine, is it true? As far as performance cars go, the rule of thumb is that turbos are better suited to automatics, and naturally-aspirated (high-power) engines should be mated to manual transmission. So that means Evo and WRX should all be auto instead of manual? WRX auto is better than WRX manual? All the while, I see Evo only have manual transmission right?

Karebu 1st Gear October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 I suggest it's better not to delve in such rhetorical questions. It's like, hey, do you think cars run faster with an air/fuel charger or etc. So yea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigen_79 Neutral Newbie October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 hi... bro's haha ... didnt mean to post tis reply as trying to be busybody , or trying to be big headed , but as tis is a forum tink every one have their rite,s to share their p.o.v , btw bro fcw75 ,tis sentence As far as performance cars go, the rule of thumb is that turbos are better suited to automatics, and naturally-aspirated (high-power) engines should be mated to manual transmission. issit they are referring to any topic ? or wat type of topic are the magazine into bfore writing tis ? maybe i can share abit of my engineering noe how , and guy's do enlightent me if i m wrong , cos really interested to learn more 2 manual transmision and auto transmision is totally 2 different issue , the reason being why racing car is mostly manual is bcos manual let them choose in wat gear they want to enter into a corner and in wat gear they want to exit the corner ,as we all noe engaing the wrong gear in the corner may most likely lead to losing speed or may even over or under spin the car ,if dun belive me,try to do a high speed corner like from bke towards pie the big left hand corner can be done in about 75km/h to 85km/hr(pls make sure u have mod ur suspension to do above 85km/h) ,if u are a manual go into it at 5th gear instead of 3rd gear in the corner u brake.. as for auto do the same speed and put ur gear in neutral and brake , the experince is wat i actually wan to explain ,as for why would the magazine say tis ? well my guess is they may be tinking that since being turbo is powerful enugh auto is good enugh and why use manual in n/a engine ? maybe he mean to say that manual can let a n/a car go faster since n/a lack the punch of the turbo. but its totally wrong in fact although the statistic in most sedan may show that the pickup of 0 to 100km/h in manual is always faster but its whether the driver noe how to play and control the car in most cases driver wit the same skill , will most likely win wit an auto , so ther's no solid prove in wat transmission shld a car be other then ,wat the driver wan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 This is obviously personal opinion of the authur. We know that it's personal preference when comes to choosing auto or manual for their choice of cars. It's just like some moron in the past who posted a thread saying auto are for women and pussies & manual are for the macho guy drivers. Some personal opinions best keep it to yourself. Dun create unnecessary misunderstandings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic October 31, 2007 Author Share October 31, 2007 Yep, that's why I was baffled by it too. Most performance turbo cars comes with manual transmission if I recalled correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic October 31, 2007 Author Share October 31, 2007 Sorry man, I couldn't find the magazine liao. Anyway, the article is about Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and the author is saying that automatic transmission (Tiptronic) is better for the car than manual transmission. That's where I saw that paragraph, tink he also mentioned that the most recent exception is the S204, which he said manual transmission is better.
