Automatic or Manual

[Bobn57]

Mine roasts my GT from the start. 406 Pontiac with RA3 cam performance heads.

very nice...I remember visiting a Pontiac dealer in 78 or 79 ....dreaming about one of these. But the price was out of reach for me. That's when I picked up my Torino Cobra for $600.00
Not going to say what I sold it for but still kicking myself for letting it go.

My previous gt was auto and I don't miss it at all. It's so much fun driving a manual. But I'll give it to the auto boys, definitely faster at take off. I'm not trying to race though, just trying to look pretty behind the wheel.

(Sarcasm)

But in your case, do you call the clutch a man peddle like a few of these idiots? That would be especially ironic in your case.

The advantages of the 10R80 cannot be ignored. However, no car enthusiast hops in a vehicle and gets excited seeing PRNDL/PRNDS. If the same advancement efforts that went into the 10R80 also went into the MT82, we would have an exceptional manual transmission. Is the 10R80 superior to the MT82? Maybe, but manual transmissions are more fun than automatics as a general statement.

H-pattern>PRNDL/PRNDS

This has been my muscle car during the time cars basically sucked. AKA until the Mustang.

I don't call it anything.

But it would make sense to call it a man peddle since that's the only action I'm getting in my life right now. So every time I want it, I stomp on my man peddle (clutch) and go... depending on how excited I am at that moment. Totally a joke btw but it was funny to me. Not sure why that's the only thing that came to my mind after reading "man peddle"

are you sure that's how it works? Because normally when I stomp on the clutch pedal and floor the gas I don't go much of anywhere...

For everything else there is (actually good) Korean BBQ in Annandale

I think you may have parted the Red Sea with that post and everyone fell in. Lol.

Lol I do go places on 3rd and 4th gear. Not so much on 1st & 2nd though. 1st and 2nd are like 4play

Only with the right molded rubber. Bias ply. Haha.

Definitely using this analogy next time I explain rowing gears in 5oh. This just made my day lol

That's exactly how it is for me. I wish 1st was a bit faster though. Oh well

but hasn't the thrust of the complaint always been too much/fast in 2nd leads to 3rd lock out? With possible stuck/floppy clutch pedal that won't return?

I dunno what all that means let's eat some Korean sometime

I thought it couldn’t get any better and I was dead wrong.
