just on my way home from work and this guy pulls up at the light next to me and revs his engine. i do the same and then it turns green, i have my overdrive turned off and its down hill. i hit the gas and nothing, my car just sits there for a sec and then slowly starts to move. this guys car made a clank sound and then squeeled off. it sounded like he started in 2nd gear or skipped a gear. it sounded bad. but he took off like a bat out of hell while i was far behind with everybody else. he slowed down a ways up and flashed me. damn my cars a slow piece. i'll be selling both of my celicas soon. im tired of looking fancy but having nothing to back it up with.

next time, buy a manual car. automatics are alway a lot slower then a manual.

bs, thats just talking ignorance. Go talk to the supra boys and they'll tell you that the auto supra TT will take the 6 spd all day long. Sorry dragging you can setup a auto to kill a manual anyday of the week.

Now road course thats a different story, but thats because ur shifting up and down.........

If your tranny is strong enough and you're in the 10 second in the 1/4 mile then the auto is better, but anything in the 11's, 12's and higher autotragic is much slower. . in my 240 it's a 16.9 instead of a 16.1 if you have a 5 speed, and around the same goes with the celica, much slower if automatic. Rational behind the auto=faster is shifting must be immediate, and perfect, and it lets the turbo still be spooling so you don't lost power.
