That’s not what I was saying. Never said manuals were faster. Not sure where the disconnect is here. The difference is once again the delay in the auto downshifting. It’s clunky. We’re not going to agree because we’re no looking at this in the same light. Or atleast not at the same moment...
and you just proved my point.
ONCE AGAIN MY ISSUE IS WITH THE DELAY IN WHEN MY BRAIN SAYS GO FASTER TO THE CAR ACTUALLY GOING FASTER.
with the manual I can press in the clutch (not going faster yet….not deciding it’s time to go faster only preparing for it…) and the release it and get on the...
I feel like I’m explaining the intricacies of the Mona Lisa to a bunch of toddlers eating crayons…. How long did it take someone to convince you morons that it was possible to record on your VCR while watching a different Channel?
when I need to downshift to say pass a car, I can anticipate the need, determine the timing of my shift and do so in a way that ensures I have the power of the lower gear precisely when I want/need it. As opposed to an automatic that has to get a signal that the accelerator is pushed, the RPMs...
I never said I can shift faster than an auto. I said I can anticipate what gear I’ll need to be in and go to it before I need the power. Let off the clutch and it’s there. That’s it that same as shifting faster than an auto. It’s situation specific.
Learning behavior aside. When you press the petal to the floor and it downshifts 2-3 gears it takes a half a second. That’s what I’m talking about….it can’t anticipate or learn when I’ll need or what to do that.
I ordered a GT Convertible, Manual, 401A, Dark Matter Gray w/ Carmine Red interior, Performance Package, Bronze Appearance Package, Red Calipers, Magneride and Active Exhaust.
Why a GT? Dark Horse wasn’t available in a convertible. Otherwise I would have had a harder choice. Ultimately I...
You’ve already been scheduled. You’re fine. What that document tells us is ford is not scheduling any vehicles to get build dates this week. Last week they scheduled a bunch for September. This means they are seeing how things move around and how many more slots are available in September to...
A Facebook group I’m in has a guy who claims to have a mom who works at flat rock. He says they need 5 days of no incidents and last week they got to 4. So hopefully next week or the week after things are smoothed out and they can start shipping these babies out. But this is all 3rd party...
I will say I test drove a 23 GT with the A10 and I really didn’t like it. I could feel the half second delay with every downshift and it drove me crazy. That’s why I went manual again. I can anticipate my actions faster than a computer and have instant power when it’s needed.
But that also has the borla mufflers. So it’s a not a straight comparison where as the resonator delete leaves the stock mufflers intact. So the sound profile will still be different correct?
