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. Quote:

then why is it that my old 4.11 manual was seconds off the pace in relatively stock form... even faster than OT's heavily modified 4.44? I am talking back when all it had was an exhaust and a dryer duct intake?? I mean I understand the logistics of the whole auto/mt debate BUT why is the SVX such a difference??

I think we'd better watch it, or this thread is definitely going to get locked
How about this -- An automatic with shifting characteristics and gearing equal to a manual trans will produce faster 1/4 mile times (eliminates human error with clutch and shifts). An automatic with sloppy shifting characteristic - compared to a manual - and gearing identical to a manual will probably be slightly slower in the 1/4 mile (but more consistent). An automatic with sloppy shifting and higher (lower numerically) gearing than a manual will almost always be slower than a manual with lower (higher numerically) gearing -Bill

Thank you, bill. It was hurting to read the nonesence after a while.5mt is lighter.Against a built auto it has that single advantage
Anyhow, yeah...I bet if you fixed that egr problem, and mabey worked on shifts a little bit, you should be able to run much faster. Someone with similar modifications who has been at the strip recently could hopefully chime in and let you know what kind of times you should be putting down, so you have a basis of how well your car / you are running

Yeah maybe you should be to for ignorance. JK. I wish Jason was still here and that he resolved his problems with a client he blew up at properly but he isn't and he didn't to my knowledge. I gave you the sources, if you don't believe me read a magazine, its pretty well documented. Only exceptions I've seen are for the WRX 2.0 which needs a specific powerband with its turbo set up. Everything else pretty much conforms to autos being faster.

a little while before I sold my ebony, I ran a 15.3 in it, keep plugging away, you'll get those times down.
me...I'll be busy running 12.8's @ 110 with my rex actually with me driving probably more like 13.1's, but who's complaining?

That must be the fastest rex on the planet with all of 660ccs max! A WRX is not a REX! Doesn't even come close!
