My 1/4 mile times

[benebob]

So you not only can't read but obviously can't realize I was the one who brought up that a 5 speed isn't typically as fast as an auto in a drag. Did you see the thread starter posting his 1/4 mile times in an auto of any ratio? Didn't think so. Learn to read. Then you can speak. Until then why are you not studying words.

A 4.11 auto in the same car will be faster in a 1/4 than a 4.11 manual. A 4.44 auto in the same car will be faster in a 1/4 than a 4.44 manual. A 3.53 auto in the same car will be faster than a 3.53 manual. A 3.9 auto in the same car will be faster than a 3.9 manual.

Kept simple sentences for ya. Hope it helps.

You can't just magically change someone's specs just to make your argument work out. It's a stock auto versus a 5spd. The gearing is different. Therefore it makes sense that the 5spd got better times.

In general you would be correct, but this thread isn't "in general." This thread has specifics, which you constantly ignore.
