.... Why would you get an automatic turbo? Stupid.![]()
I drive a manual as a daily, I hate it in traffic but makes driving so much more fun.
Excuse me?![]()
You must not know much about racing.
Turbo cars with automatics are consistently faster than turbo cars with a standard transmission.
An auto allows the turbo to continue spooling between shifts therefore building maximum boost and power. Every time you shift a turbo car with a manual you loose built up boost so the engine wont make full power until it is in final gear. A turbocharged auto allows your engine to run at peak HP through multiple gears, while a manual turbo only makes peak HP close to red-line after you have run through all your gears.

Look at the boost gauge next time your driving or riding in a turbocharged manual and compare it to the boost gauge in a turboed auto.

First of all, who wants to boost that much in a daily driver? I'm sorry junior but life is not about hitting boost while going to work. Life isn't a race track. Now on a track maybe but even then, that is a ridiculous, narrow-minded argument. Most enthusiasts would much rather track a R34 over a R35. "Automatics" are not as engaging and many companies still offer a manual transmission standard on a TURBO car, including the STi, EVO, 911 Turbo, etc., cars that would dust you in a flash. Completely ignorant and pathetic argument here.Originally Posted by dankenstien88

It just comes down to muscle-memory and getting used to it... and when in doubt, put the clutch in. Also at stop lights, also make sure you're in 1st and not 3rd.Originally Posted by KanyeWestJayZ4life
I would like to switch over to manual. Its has to be a coupe or sti or something to that extent.
I have all the basics down, im at the stage where i have to get through the pressures. Like shifting in at a redlight without messing up and stalling(i get nervous, and that nervousness breaks me). Downshifting also, i know you dont have to, but id like to know how to do it properly. I have an auto now, but i want to buy and fix up a 1998 bmw M3(Coupe or sedan, doesnt mater)
