and no not another thread about big rims...

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

whats the deal why would you put some type of FI on an auto

 

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!

 

heres and example of what im talking about when i see FI autos

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. Oh yea, I have no desire to boost my coupe!

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!

i knew it was a member on here, i remember see'n the hydrow plates

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.

 

I said most not all...

 

lol if you didn't think this is going to cause AT drivers to freak out then you are just crazy..

 

its not meant to, heck i drive an AT

the more i think about it the more i like the idea of boosted autos basically because the consistency of the shifting

 

quit yo jibbajabba fool!

 

Does it really even matter? Like ShanesG said, boost is boost.

 

I don't know where you live on the east coast but in NY I certainly don't see many mustangs. I do see a lot down in VA, but not up North. In Long Island, most of the kids I know drive imports like Lexus, Acura, Nissan, BMW, etc. Most of the kids in my high school drove 3 series coupes and sedans. I don't ever intend on boosting my 5AT. I bought the G35 coupe more for its looks and value. For 18k, I don't think I could've gotten a better car than the G35. Eitherway, if people want to boost their 5AT, go ahead. Its their car, their choice, and their money. At the end, we all got that same love for our Gs, which is why this forum is here!

 

Maybe if you're 15 years old. What a terrible thread.
