Agreed 100%!!!!!!


As for automatics in drag racing, it is indeed more consistent however, I much prefer the direct control of a manual transmission (even if it may be slower in some cases).

Are you talking about BMW's "SMG" or are you talking about a true sequential manual gearbox used on race cars?

Well...

I still prefer 3 pedals so...

I'd prefer an SMG with 3 pedals (obviously the clutch is for launching and heel-toe shifting).

Other than that, 2 pedals feels wrong

No doubt, a true manual is always preferred, as it brings out the real pleasure of driving. Although i'm not that great with manual, i like the feel of smg.

Wth! I'll go with either or. For all those saying auto are lazy and manuals are an inconvience should really look at yourselves in the mirror and say no to this argument and Just DRIVE! Really I really don't care whether i have to downshift or lazily press the brakes. I just want to be fast at the corners and come out alive! Image
