Hi Admin `Mike, & you gave `up to get'em


*LoL `Tadd, I thought that maybe your answer

 

I only drive a manual hardly any, but I think it would be more fun and you'd feel more in control. Also you can't call yourself a pro driver unless you know how to drive a stick.

The auto in the new Stingray is quicker then the manual , unless I was driving (LOL)

 

There's ALMOST no reason to get a manual nowadays unless you truthfully prefer it.

It's the same reason why you can't even get a proper manual in most high-end luxury and performance cars.

Manual vs. Automatic Transmission: Which Gets Better Mileage and Why?

Auto, Diesel & Marine Mechanic School | AutoTraining.edu <source

Filed under Automotive Tips






The manual vs. automatic debate is an eternal one. With gas mileage being so important today when picking a car, it’s important to understand which type of transmission is better for you and your wallet. Your friends and family are probably steadfast about their own opinions regarding which one is better, so let this blog serve as an unbiased guide to your transmission dilemma.
(Find out the truth about turbo diesel here)

The Case for Manual

Cars with manual transmission used to get significantly better gas mileage compared with automatics. A major factor that halted the gas mileage of cars that use automatic transmissions was the use of a torque convertor that coupled the engine between the mechanical gears. Manual transmissions don’t have this convertor and use a clutch instead. The torque convertor was never 100% effective when the car was in motion, causing cars to lose more power and burn more fuel on the highway than cars with manual transmissions. So if you’re looking to buy a used car and want to save on gas mileage, one with a manual transmission would probably be more beneficial.
The Case for Automatic

In the present-day automotive industry, car manufacturers have solved the problem of cars with automatic transmissions getting worse gas mileage than cars with manual transmissions. Today, automatic cars come with five speeds, and sometimes even six or seven, making highway driving much easier on your gas tank. New automatics usually have an overdrive top gear that can reduce the engines RPM at higher speeds as well, which also saves gas. Newer automatic transmission cars now have lock-up torque convertors to solve to problem of saving power on the highway, and computer controls help optimize gas and fuel consumption.
Today, cars with automatic transmissions will get the close to, if not the same, gas mileage as manual transmissions.

The Answer?

 

depending what im doing with the car, stop and go traffic and drag racing give me an auto, auto x, and spirited street cornering a manual is better.

honestly i will take either one i can make a deal on and get a good price on as it dont matter much to me. the cts-v is a automatic because the dealership worked with us on payments, the dealership that had a manual cts-v wouldn't budge on price.

 

I've pretty much only driven automatic, i did drive stick long enough to get the idea of it. I desperately want to get a manual car as i feel like i'd enjoy it alot, as long as im not in traffic lol.
