I used to run with a guy who had to run auto. He only had one hand so he had to auto tune all of his cars... I felt so bad.

I beat him on the tree one time and could have had him, and then someone knocks us off the track...wow.

there isnt a major problem with using auto. it just doesnt reel in the same respect IMO because its lazy.

I test this in a couple rooms today and there is definitly a big difference.

I really suggest braggers not to talk about how fast they are if they cant use manual.

Ive also test my gtr12 in the last room and found out its faster than me shifting. Which means im not as FAST as some of you guys. Lol...In my eyes I dont consider myself as fast because I cant get the full ability out of my car that it showed me.in automatic. And I will continue not to use AT.

See, I can admit this...lol

I dont see no need for auto in fr cars period.

Manual or kik lol.

If they brag that they are fast, force them to eat their words.

Bro.. have you ever tried to put an auto tune on a '05 GT No stripe? Try it sometime... it will probably be the hardest thing you will ever tune (and it will never be as fast as a MT). Trying to use all 6 gears on a Rwd car requires a lot more skill then launching in 2nd. Auto tuning is a completely different monster... that will frustrate you and drive you insane. (now im not saying its faster... because its not.. but we all tried hopelessly anyway)

Once again.. i run Mt on pretty much everything... but its a choice to run AT.. a its a choice your not allowed to restrict... so why are you trying to make a big deal out of it? So somebody is running an auto... who cares? If your even kinda fast you should be able to run them down. Stop b:censored:hin and moanin about what other people do and worry about what you can control. Your tune... your R/T... and your shift points. Not what someone else is using.

Seriously... manual or kik? really? If you going to boot people for running autos... you deserve some help with the facepalm.

You also get kiked for other stupid reasons such as srf, spectating, x1, ghost launch, tc, not having a mic, flag representation, racial reasons, and the list goes on.

Dont get too cute with the facepalm post-it. nobody can say whats stupid of you to restrict with some things that go down in this game.

So...? Consistency means nothing if your consistently slower than your opponent.. now dose it?

So according to you... we should all run autos so we could have consistent races and tell whos car is consistently faster.... i mean... because its more consistent.. it would be better... more consistent racing. Right? Since consistency is the only thing that matters to you.. not having a faster E/t... you want to pull up next to a car you have already raced and know... because there couldnt of been any driver error last time... it will be the same result as the last race... because if your consistent.. thats better than having a stray perfect run with a manual.

Dude.. im done with this before the mods start getting pissy. Bottom line... line up and race.

No, what he is trying to say is that in some cars, auto will work to your best advantage compared to manual because of some cars having such precision and sensitive shift points (EG: Evo 8 standard.. 9/10 you will get a WAY better time then in manual)

Obviously manual is better because of your ability to shift at torque peeks, HOWEVER it's unlikely you will always hit it in certain cars like the Evo or r33 premium. Using auto can benefit and make your times achieve great times constantly, especially online. He didn't mean it for all cars.

Jump on your bike and cool off buddy.

Are you so close minded that you dont understand what im staying? Cool.. thats fine dude... do what you wanna do...but keep in mind.... thats exactly the same choice your trying to take away form others with your manual or kik malarkey. Think about that for a minute.

We all know that there is a set of "unwritten rules" in the dragging community.. no srf and so on as you so graciously listed for us... but restricting transmission orientation is not one of them.

To quote the great Eric Clapton.... "Before you accuse me... take a look at yourself."
 
He's saying, try to make a competitive fgt no stripe tune in auto.... Its hard as. And thats only one car to try.. Try them all.

That's fine and all, but that would be useless. The odds of you racing someone with let's say, the GT, with a auto tranny with yours is highly unlikely. It could be fun knowing you have such a tune for it but it's not practical.

Thats why you run other fgt's and stuff like that with it and see if you can keep up... you might lose honorably... you might win a few.. ya never know... thats the fun of drag racing aint it? Specifically if you have been in it as long as PTK and myself have been.... you get board and want to try different things.

Fair enough, I've been around long enough to, however when I run my cars I want them to achieve the best I possibly can every run. That's the whole point to me, to be the or be close to being the fastest.

I have a gtr auto tune, so ive started! Its not that hard :lol:

Ok im joking, its surly not easy but its like a short 3k tune so if you've done that you can do an auto trans without too much of a hassle. Its still not the easiest though.

Yeah... I hear ya....but nobody likes to destroy people on every run. When a room dictates... (im trying to tip toe around this)... you bring out a car that is competitive with the class of competition around you.... you get what him cluckin? You can have some good racing with an AT... but someone starts talking or you start getting your arse handed to you... its time to change your car.

By stretching 1st gear to the point of using it for launch, it would create so much shift lag on the other gears, you'd be falling behind by a car on shift to 3rd. 3k runs are the only logical reason to even consider this.

Nah... you can actually make a 1st gear 1/4 tune that runs pretty well.. its just that it revs past the shift points and you lose your top end. Launches like a beast though...

Yea i might make an auto enzo, the redline is max hp anyways.

Always thought i had a really good le mans quattro tune, rarely found a guy who could beat me by half a car length, but i ran into him, and his absolutely destroyed mine. Did the same with a bunch of different cars. Big props to him, he's good.

As for the AT vs MT, MT has the clear advantage if you know how to use it. If an AT beats you, his car/tune is better. Of course there's exceptions, but most of the time it's how you drive, not what kind of transmission you have.
 
Auto can be used more so in longer drag like tunnel/3k

Its fairly accepted that its ok to use auto in tunnel/3k, its just more consistent when the shift points is where the auto shifts

some cars you can go a little over redline to get that extra pull but sometimes the margin of error is so small i just use auto.

Cars i use auto almost all the time:
viper acr
enzo- manual is slightly faster if you run in past redline on some gears.
 
there is less then a handful of cars you can use auto, most cars you either have to shift before or after redline.
 
lets get real who cares if u use auto on a car or not like ripcurl said thee are only a few cars that you can use ato on that will work other wise if you want awesome times you need the manual. its a game lets not blow this outta proportion haaaa have some fun lighten up

True, nobody cares what you're using.
 
Wow this arguement...err I mean friendly debate, has gone on for a bit now.
Heres my thoughts,
I run an auto tranny on any car I launch with 1st gear and run 1st gear until the end. If I have to quickshift from 1st to 2nd or launch in 2nd gear I obviously run a manual. i can be just as fast with a manual tranny used on those cars I run launching from 1st gear. Its just like using the manual tranny on the Ford GT, once you learn the shift from your launching gear it all gravy baby. The people who say "the switched from an auto to a manual and I smashed them", did they run more than once? Or did they stay out find their 1st gears shift point<<which mainly is just which MPH or KPH whichever you prefer. It dosent really matter who uses what to beat what. it is just a video game (I know its a video game hat has become people main life goal now), but still just a game. As for running pinks...why do you even need another of the same car you have thats slower, If you use if for more than drag racing then use a diffrent sheet for the diffrent settings. I never run pinks because theyre sooo utterly pointless.
