Not to mention the ability to adjust his timing on the fly.

Nah - he can do that. He runs without the hood and crawls onto the fender while his GF steers. :-laf

You know, that was one thing I kinda hated about my truck, being it's an auto.



My roomate bought an 01 (I think... first year of the H. Os) with the 6 speed. It was kind of cool to row the gears, but after a day of driving in Anchorage traffic, it got old pretty quick.



What would be nice is to have bought. auto when you want, stick when you don't.

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

I've had both. I'd take a built auto over a stick anyday.

 

[mcoleman]

Same here. The built auto is just way too much fun.

How? I suppose I need to take a built auto CTD for a spin. BUT, the built autos in other types of cars/trucks are no fun . Even the "paddel shifter" types are boring.



But then again, Is it really the auto? or is driving and shifting to much cordination for you guys to figure out? It is difficult but with practice.....



I mean, not everyone can for example:



1: Break from 100 to 50

2: foot off break

3: down shift to the correct gear, with out locking up or slowing down rear/front/all tires and apply just hte right amount of throttle

4. roll into the throttle as you staighten out the turn again, on the verge of over powering the tries, maintaing traction and exiting near 100 mph (or what ever speed is necessary for this part of the track... )



All this, in a faction of second as you enter and exit a turn mainting the straightest, fastest path though the turn.



Do this, while making a "right" turns as well :-laf



Drag racing a truck that isn't even in the 10's isn't that hard. I can sorta see where a nice auto comes in at the 10 second mark. But for those of you complaining about it in your 15 second truck. ohh I'll stop there.



Anyone experiement with dog-toothing this NV5600? clutch less sifts?



Now that my ConFE is broken in fully, I can now finger shift things around like stock. For a while there my arm was huring after a trip around town.

Manual transmissions are becoming a thing of the past. Not yet, but they will. The autos are getting better and better all the time. If you want to drive an auto to give you an idea of what they were at one time take a '51 Buick for a drive. Fewer and fewer vehicles have the stick shift option as time passes. And fewer and fewer people can drive a stick so less demand for stick shift. Even the big rigs are going that way. As far as quick goes I think the Pavement Princess has broken 12 seconds.
