something im see'n alot of lately
and no not another thread about big rims...:beat-dead-horse:
I see alot of people putting turbo's and blowers on auto's? i thought this was against the performance car bible, seems like for every car i see thats FI 6mt i see two that are autos. whats the deal? I was talking to a buddy about it who isnt a G owner but has driven them and currently owns a 6mt 2003 Z and he made a pretty good point i never though of. He was talking about once you start making bigger numbers in HP say 350+ with a FI car the auto vs manual dosent really matter, his arguement is sometimes its better to have an auto considering an auto never misses a shift I hope this dosent start another 6mt vs auto war :icon43: whats the deal why would you put some type of FI on an auto :confused2: |
Little pee pee syndrome.. People with auto feel they need to "boost" something because they don't have a 6mt...
For example, most of the heavily "exterior" modded cars (neons, lambo doors, crazy bumper kits) are usually autos. Most of the clean, simple modded cars are 6mt's.. |
illbe following to see what people say!

Where in God's name did you ever get this opinion cause it's wrong! It's just as likely that a member with a clean well modded G could have a 5AT or 6MT. I have none of the above mentioned extreem mods and you've never seen a cleaner G35 coupe. It's stupid to stamp that kind of opinion on someone because they have a AT. Other than my wife's Corvettes this is the first AT I've ever owned. Dig your head out, your opinion's wrong. :NOD: Oh yea, I have no desire to boost my coupe! Gary |

Lucid, the G35 shown here is a show car that belongs to Lawrence a well respected member here in SoCal. No matter where he takes his G it draws a crowd and keeps the cameras going for hours not to mention it's very well done! :NOD:
Gary very nicely done vehicle, ied love to ride out to socal sometime where i can get up close to cars like that all you ever see on the east coast is people who drive mustangs acting like kid rock |
I don't see the issue. boost is boost. Autos actually hold boost better(turbo) through gears as well. Boost is boost. obviously the fun factor is alot less with an auto but at the end of the day i see no issue with it.
