That supra video was the most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time! wtf

but yeah what G said, good luck!

can't teach an old dog new tricks, we all know Eddy B's reaction time is a little off, he's not accurate enough to be able to shift a manual at the right time

LOL thats hilarious, obviously you havent seen Eddy B wheel a bike down the track before

[derek072887]

LOL thats hilarious, obviously you havent seen Eddy B wheel a bike down the track before
your right i havn't... but i have seen him red light quite a few times...
when was the last time Eddy B ran a bike down the track? im assuming a few years ago when he wasn't an "old dog"?

edit: shifting a car into the right gear and pushing a button or just pushing down on a lever are waaaayyy different

[allgo]

Bring your 5 speed 6 speed cars and come compete with are slow shifting autos...guys I luv to bang gears as much as the next guy but when it comes to REAL racing your are not going to see many if any 5 or 6 speeds...Edddy B is bored already winternet talk is already starting..lol

Eddy B is one of the better riders around on a bike that is fo sure..

calm down big guy... you said it'd be hard to find a manual "race" car.... well there is one... and its faster than your "race" car... i was just showing you that you are wrong dont get your panties in a bunch

[allgo]

I know they are out there running test n tunes but not class racing that is my point...

[Newgen]

I didn't realize this was going to get so person. I'm not trying to upset anyone....

[Xboosted23X]

Each transmission has its own place. Auto for drag and manual for road racing, auto x, rally.

[Larsons Fox]

The guy that I have do all my machine work races the shifters class down at Eddyville. I think he's only running 4.80s. 7.70s in the quarter. True cable clutch manual...

Pro mod super shifter far cry from a car..

U guys are a bunch of pathetic fucks Ryan your the worst I was having fun with Batwood and Logan on FB with that comment and you turn it into this.

[SledgeWS6]

Man my feelings are getting hurt up and down this thread. Somebody better shut it down soon. My Cobalt is a 5-speed so my right eye is tearing up. My Trans Am is a slush-box so my left eye is tearing up. :dunno:

[AutoMods]

we are all family here, come on now

[bonesaw53]

why can't we just all get along :(.

[derek072887]

why can't we just all get along :(.

obviously cause some of us like manuals and some like auto's.... we can never all be friends...

[OldSkoolRCR]

Ok since I was just having fun with Batwood and Logan, and you want to change my mind....find a stick car in our zip code that is fast than...I bet I could search the web and find a dozen or two fast stick cars out there, none in this Hillbilly state thats for sure...what happen at the manual shoot out? wheres the fast manuals you speak of? Ok Ryan your 10.9 or Caseys...well we wont go there...lol Oh and my idea of a fast car is unlike your idea...show me a lagit fast stick car in our area...I think Allgo had that under controll with his vette...Jesse dont count he was out of the zip code...and shifting on a Dyno in our zip code dont count...It was a jokeing comment...but Yes I do think sticks are for high school kids, honda and import owners or Auto Cross guys! So carry on to 100 pages....But I do feel honored that creeping facebook comments makes a headline topic...Thank you!!!

[slow ride]

I think Ryan just likes to stir the pot a little. His second job is drama queen ;) This topic is just like the "street car" topic and to each is own. I wouldn't give up having a manual in my vette even if it nocked off two seconds in the 1/4 mile though. Out of what brings me joy from the car a time slip just isn't a big enough deal, but I actually drive the damn thing a lot (when it runs ha). I've thought about having two seperate drivetrains, but f that have you ever worked on a vette :)

[tylers88]

Ed if I had a nice Vette to drive around it would be a stick. But if Im going to the track with my car its going to be auto...to each his own...lol Just by another Vette an auto you cheap azz....lol

[AutoMods]

Eddyc what is a legit fast stick to you? You want a 9 second pass , mid 9? I hope you don't say 8 since you haven't been there yourself yet

[OldSkoolRCR]

A consistant mid 9 car would be good....as for your 8s comment, you keep that thought, thats how I like it!

[slow ride]

Heck I'll be happy if the damn thing stays in one piece so I don't have to work on it. My c6z drivetrain parts will do much better than the old c5 stuff, but it ain't no dana 60. A 8 second pass in a manual vette would have god behind the wheel and jesus would be praying for the drivetrain down the entire track. I'd be happy if the car some day ran a high 9 in a full weight street vette with a fat driver and couple hundred extra pounds of turbo crap in front . If it did I'm sure it would mph higher than a 9 should need in most cases as I'd need the power advantage to make up for my poor driving. The car would probably need a tire/wheel swap, stereo out, etc. Can't be missing gears, shifting slow, fighting clutches, etc if it's going to happen. I'd say mid 10's would be cool with the drag radials I run on the street and the car doesn't have a cage and never will so the amount of practice runs might be small unless you keep it to 1/8 mile.

This car has always fought me at the 1/4 mile and it frustrates me. Back in the old DSM days I was running quick times for the mph, but not so much in the vette. Heck I even did great with the S4 as far as stock times go. It seems like the clutch in the vette was draging a little preventing/blocking quick shifts every time I've been to the track with it and I never really spent the time to fix it as it drove around fine on the street. Years ago I broke the texterila clutch on a dead hook with drag radials (lucky it didn't come apart) and even that thing shifted like crap. The spec stage 3+ drove a little better on the street, but also had issues (uneven pressure plate contact) with draging. I really hope the twin disk works out a lot better overall as people have had decent luck with the RXT. At this point who knows if my drivetrain curse will be broken. Vettes tend to work the syncros hard since the inertia of the clutch disks AND driveshaft come into play.

Vette IRS's are a bitch to mod since it's part of the rear, but with enough money people can do anything. Auto corvettes seem to go way faster, break MUCH less, are dead consistant, etc. You can be sure my car would have an auto if it's purpose was more of a 1/4 mile car. I'd pick a different car for that though to begin with. I'd want something that IF I need to work on it I wouldn't shread my hands every time I open the hood :) and I don't want to have to mess with the drivetrain so much. At the high power levels that some of these 10.5 guys are at they need to spend more time perfecting the launch with little tweaks here and there rather than worrying about banging gears and broken clutches/drivelines.

To bad you dont put real jets in that thing, then they would really be fucked!

Fiddy what kind of oil you running again?

[OldSkoolRCR]

Peanut oil...happy,happy,happy!

[FiFdYnUtZ]

Canola oil, I'm preserving my figure

[BGjohnson]

I know my car would be faster with an auto. Look at how nasty aggressive those 8-9 second passes are on those stick cars, inconsistent and just flat out violent.

Oh well, 90% street car 10% track, I'll take a stick any day.

[85XR7Project]

IMO this is how I see it.
street car+manual=fun
Street car+auto=boring
Drag car+manual=broken parts and inconsistency
Drag car+auto=typically faster

I just don't think manual transmissions are for the track anymore with all the advancements in automatics for track. What do I know though...

[Domestic Disturbance]

This is a lie. I've seen Ed put down a bike racing algo and it was a kiddy class!

Ill take you for a ride in my car on the street....you won't be bored

[Scott]

There is some badass manual trans for drag racing that arent violent and in-consistant, but they arent allowed in hardly any classes and the good clutches are a major PITA requiring attention every pass just about.. Id love to run a GF5 or lenco in my car but its against the rules.

If you actually make alot of power its not boring to drive with either trans, my car has no chance of ever getting traction on the street I dont care how fast your going, even with straight up slicks you better be on your game if you want to put the pedal down at 60 mph cuz its gonna be all over the place!

[allgo]

LOL I forgot about that night, man Eddy B was a puddle that night..lol

[FiFdYnUtZ]

My 50 still has a bent frame and broken spokes from that day lol

[85XR7Project]

I'm sure I wouldn't be bored, I'd probably enjoy the shit out of it. I just prefer a manual when I drive a car, automatics just don't do much for me.

[OldSkoolRCR]

LOL I forgot about that night, man Eddy B was a puddle that night..lol

One of the many puddle nights....lol

[BGjohnson]

I've had a car with a stall and shift kit. It was pretty fun, but I didn't like the lack of control I had in the car, a few times when it down shifted passing somebody it surprised me and sent me looking at the ditch. I've heard full manual bodies are more fun.

Still like my sticks, but after a long day of a cruise or at the track it would be nice to just stick it in D and go home.

[bizzle]

everyone is entitled to their opinion on the auto vs manual debate. personally putting a manual in my car was the best thing i did to it. it literally made the car. i think autos are great in pickups, drag cars and daily drivers. but you just cant beat a stick in a quick street car. i love rowing those gears

[DustinsDuster]

i prob could have had an auto in my truck for literally half the price, and run faster. but i never cared much about setting the strip on fire; i wanted something different, and now i'm fairly certain i have the only Ram50 with a turbo and 6 speed. not everyone can be the fastest; shoot for making yourself happy- it'll work out a lot better.
