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.

I'm talking turbos engines. 'cause he said he had a turboed one earlier. And it doesnt have to be a 10 sec car. It could be a 15 sec car. If you know how to drag. You can launch off the line harder and like you said in the last sentence it keeps the turbo in its powerband better. You can mess up your shifting in a 5spd and nobody can shift as good as a set machine, sorry.
