Rep Power: 0 You mean 'more fun' I think - man, there's nothing like throwing the car from gear to gear! I'm never going back to automatic....yeah, the manual would have a good head start, but in the long haul they'd draw up even just about. Although there have been issues with my launch and his launch, krepoort and I tested it out...I have a quicker start (when I get my launch proper), but he catches up really fast...That was between a 2k2 EX automatic and a 97 DX manual. He wins the 1/4 mile though, I'm sure of that...

Rep Power: 0 Manual all the way. It wouldnt win by a whole lot but it certainly would win. MotorTrend did a test with a 2002 Toyota Camry with an auto and a 5spd and the 5spd won through the QM around 16.3 versus the autos 16.9.

Rep Power: 0 << Manual would win by a little, but if the guy grinds or messes up, then manual would lose because as we all know auto is floor it and thats it >>
That's happened to me a number of times...nothing more embarrassing than trying to get up and go and grind instead...
<< a small slight amount, i've seen an auto lx go at it with a manual si, the manual won by the length of a hand (palm to fingertip) >>
weird...... what kind of si? 5th gen si? or 6th gen si? i think any of the SI's will beat a D series motor handsdown... no doubt. who was driving? only a length of a hand?

Rep Power: 0 The manual would be about a second quicker to 60 and the quarter mile. I don't know how far the two cars would be apart with a 1sec difference. I think 0-60 for the 5sp is around 9secs, and the auto is a little over 10 secs.

Rep Power: 0 i raced auto lx sedan in my ex sedan, i won by like a car length. raced lx stick coupe pulled ahead first cuz his tires hella spun in first gear and beat him. we raced again but at a rolling start (aprox 5mph), i was beating himabout half a car until we hit about 80-90 or so. plus sticks are more fun to drive. auto or manual, i prefer manual unless its in traffic.

Rep Power: 0 Well in autocross events, on a 60 second track, the stick wins by about 1 second. Only because of the gear-ratios and differential. Other than that, they're the same car.
Although, being the drift-king that I am, I could beat most sticks. Thats why I think auto's are better for autocross, because you can keep your hand on the e-brake and drift every turn, and cut about 5 seconds. Which is too difficult to do while shifting...
