Mikey15Manual. Since driving a real car, I can't stand automatic now. I just wish the gear stick was more like in a real car though...![]()
ForcedInductionI wish Gran turismo came out with a manual gearbox for the DFP and add a clutch. I'd be all over that![]()
Yup I totally agree, I wasted the first 3 GT's using automatic. I'm so glad I switched to manual in GT4. I can't stand automatics in real life and I dunno how I put up with it in Gran Turismo.Xtreme DrifterI prefer manual a lot more than auto, because I can control better the power output, and don't have the danger of the computer to reduce a gear.
Actually, I can't drive in GT using auto now, it makes me feel that there is "something" missing.

that was great
Suzuki, you made my day 👍
xsquizet-drifteHey everyone i was wondering when you guys go out and drift do you like to drift with auto or manuel, me personally i drift with manuel its better for me i find it kind of weird with a auto cause i still hit the L2 and R2 buttons on accident
so share if you wish
Same hereFairlady240zgIt would suck to be automatic, some turns I cant drift through unless I am upshifting or downshifting the start the drift, or shifting during it to pull me through..
MugenVTECOMG... they should never had invented the automatic transmission. Its a shame to everybody that drives it... lol
Fairlady240zg^ When I lived and worked in Washington DC, I thanked god I drove an automatic, esp after I had to drive my z to work, my left foot about fell off and I about got out of the car and went crazy. Traffic on 95 is no joke.
Boundary LayerThat's a rather narrow view of the world, isn't it?
They certainly have their place. Just not necessarily in motorsport.
Think for a second - where would the modern mass production CVT's, dual-clutch and direct-shift semi-automatic transmissions developed by Daimler-Chrysler, Borg-Warner, and others be without the knowledge gained through developing automatic gearboxes first. Nowehere, that's where.
BL, auto DOES have its uses in motorsports. just not for many. alot of high hp single digit street legal drag cars use auto. alot of 7-9 sec supras use auto, its more consistant on the strip. but besides that, it doesnt have many uses in motorsports. its kind of like ABS in a way. its useful, but your not in complete control of your car.Boundary LayerThat's a rather narrow view of the world, isn't it?
