Say there was a 2004 V6 mustang with a manual tranny, short shifter, and 3.73 gears. Then there was a 2004 V6 mustang with an auto tranny, shift kit, and 4.10 gears. If these two cars raced how bad would the auto beat the manual?

[SantanielloITA]

half a car maybe

well it would depend on the driver but the auto with shift kit and 4.10s would definatly win

[El_Cangri]

driver that knows how to shift will win..

if no good driver auto will win

interesting race tho

i'l say manual do double clutch and maybe win?

[scxc15]

I knew it would win but I didn't know by how much. What if the manual had 4.10s too? Would the auto still beat it cause of that damn shift kit?

[tjames]

with a shift lit the computer will out shift the driver everytime. if they both have 4.10s, auto with a shift kit would probably still win. computer>human

[scxc15]

Damn those computers lol

i raced this guy adam from greenvile, sc at carolina dragway a couple yrs ago. all exact same mods and he had 5speed and 3.73s and i had auto 4.10s and our times were within a few hundreths consistently. he also had a rear seat delete kit and front seat removed; i only had rear seats removed...

[tjames]

haha ya computers are taking over the world. pretty soon they will own us

wow he shift damn good then because it should be way more then that. he must have a short throw shifter?

[AtlanticBlue99]

no to the short throw. just good driver, i suppose.

damn thats impressive

[El_Cangri]

yup..

but auto for me takes like the fun out..

i like shifting also give me some control which a computer cant replicate (idk what example to give)

i got a good example... i can do a double clutch which autos cant

(they need a tune for it I think..?)

[RALVAREZ26]

why do you need to double clutch again???????????

[tjames]

you dont need to. we have sythesizers?(i think thats what they are called) that do that for us. but it can still be done and effectivly work but is not neccisary

[El_Cangri]

double clutch can make a difference by maintaining the rpms at certain level so that when shifting theres less loss of t.q at the wheels..

[Tlord18]

I wouldnt trade my manual as well. Theres nothing like dropping the clutch and letting em spin. ( actually it should be like letting one tire spin but o well )

[bluestang01]

But doesn't an auto lose power through the torque converter no mater what kind of "shift kit" you have?
