05-04-07, 00:17 GMT+10#43 well considering its illegal to drag on the streets and most importantly dangerous and stupid, there is no need for stalling auto's off the line. and if you own a vlt you probably aren't a cruiser, so go manual.
they are good to be lazy and concentrate on driving, but boring and if like most auto boxes, tired and dont shift into gear soon enough for cornering etc
can na stock autos be stalled without killing it, and what rpm?
having said that autos do like the boost going to second they pull like...

05-04-07, 01:26 GMT+10#44 lol do you wana race or have ****loads of fun!?
well, race, a worked auto with a stally would do the trick. Otherwise, go the manual sooo much more fun with a turbo. Only ever driven a auto once but, but i'd still rather my manual
*EDIT: I'm drunk, fixed my grammer

05-04-07, 07:29 GMT+10#45 a few people on here are speaking without having experienced driving a properly built auto.
I used to hate autos, said they were gay, sh1t whatever. until i owned on with a stallie and full manual shift, it changed my mind about the driving experience all together.
Phantom_t, with a full manual auto, you can chage gears whenever you want and its instant shift is firm, HSVSUX the vl calais turbo track car runs some seriously quick times around the twisty stuff with an auto, do a search and youll find the vid.

It's only going to be faster if you suck at driving manual.

08-04-07, 15:19 GMT+10#52 nugget: yeah i haven't driven a maualised auto, mainly due to the cost of having one built. i like to have a clutch, altho thats pretty much what the stall converter does off the line. i think for most people its the fact of being able to drive a manual, matching the clutching with acc, not just pushing the acc pedal and going.
i do like both depends on mood. and i not in it for drags.

19-04-07, 14:07 GMT+10#57 manualised autos are nothing like the best of both worlds, it's the worst of both worlds... having to change your own gears without the fun of a clutch lol! Lack's the conveniance of an auto and lacks the feel of a 3 pedal manual

No clutch needed! Flatten the throttle at any time, with the traction control off, and 22 inch tyres seem to leak White smoke.

I've been in a VLCT with ~300rwkw, and it was manual.
Scared the **** outta me but I ****ing loved it! That is what made me want a manual, that thing chirped every gear, or at least he made sure it did
