A/T vs M/T?
ok i know this is a stupid question, cause obviously Manual tranny is better than Auto, but i have an Auto (Doh) with minor performance upgrades, and all the M/T cars i have raced i have killed, now other than being able to change gears when ever you please and being lighter, what does a M/T have over Auto. The cars i raced was a Jetta GLS, a Civic Si, and a CRX, i beat them all, i have 94 RS Teg, its in pretty good shape, no turbo or NOS, is it that those guys just couldnt drive? or does my full exhaust upgrade really do that much?

They probably can't drive...especially the guy with the civic si. If they actually knew how to drive, they would kill you.
As for the exhaust system, they don't really add that much horsepower to a stock honda engine.

i dont know, i beat the jetta by two cars, and as far as i could tell i beat the Si, and they have been driving for a long time with M/T, maybe my car is faster than i think.

it's not faster than you think it's more of the other guys can't drive. you may have a better 60ft time but they will get the better 1/4 mile time. A nonvtec integra has quite the pull but no upper end power but who am i to say i don't drive a car at the moment

i know the guys, and yes we were racing, and yes they were M/T, well i had a 93 RX-7 for a while, i was racing with that, then i got the Integra, i had no choice on M/T or A/T it was cheap and a great deal, trust me, i beat them fair and square.
