Disgusting
I saw the most disgusting thing a few days ago. A '97 Supra, mint condition AUTOMATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell is wrong with these people, sugar momma wants a fast car but can barely drive it! #1 She was ugly. If she was hot, I wouldnt have been so upset #2 I never asked her but im assuming its an after market tranny. Toyota would never make an auto supra, or at least I hope not.
I almost came to tears Anyone else seen garbage like this? |

i guess that is kind of a sad thing, but of course it makes sense. Everything revolves around money, and thats the way it is. I wasnt commenting on toyota as much as my disgust with this lady. She should have gotten a Oldsmobile or something if she cant drive standard. *** forbid if she prefers it

How do you know she can't drive a manual? Why are you knocking people down for driving autos? I don't, but plenty of people here do. Autos can be made to go very fast also if they have a strong tranny.

Hmmmm, is there something in particular that you don't like about the look? The front of the car? The shape? The rear? The lights?
just wondering.  |

Thought i would give my .02 the auto supra are faster in the quarter mile if not faster only slower by .1-.05 seconds and give more consistant times cause theres on human error to be had. Cause a human can misshift and screw up a run but a auto wont.
But on the other hand the 6-speed is perfect for auto x/autocross control of gears but personally if i had a car that perfect i would want a manual. Just thought i would share with you guys. |

k you people bad mouthing the auto Supra.....take one for a spin, that car will run circles around A LOT of cars. its not a cheaply built automatic like the majority are, this car does have balls. and actually jewbacca, supras only came in automatic for 96.
check some supra forums/sites, there are MANY auto supras handing camaros, mustangs, corvettes and so on and so forth their asses. in all honesty, get a clue before you post something like this again. or learn to read up on the subject which you are talking about. perhaps both? thanks. |

Well said. I'm sick of the whole "auto bashing" thing. How could you possibly be pissed off enough to make a whole post about seeing someone driving an auto Supra

hybrid, on inbred, thats not the point man, of course an automatic supra will run circles around alot of cars, its a SUPRA. An automatic BMW M5 will run circles around a lot of cars too. seriously man, u need to chill out, i havent heard of anyone who defends an automatic car as much as you. ITS A SUPRA, IT WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND ALOT OF CARS, THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT TO ME, dumba$$

Supras do come in auto, and Sport Compact car or Import Tuner magazine even worked on one just to see what kinda power it has.
This one was non turbo 1995 or 1996 Supra, automatic......it made a whopping *make sure your sitting* 150 horsepower!!!  |

Watch the personal bashing... The fact is people make to big of a deal out of Automatic Transmissions... They arent as bad as people make them out to be. Granted they might not be as "useful" as a Manual Transmission, I dont see why everyone anti-auto. Maybe some people prefer an automatic over a manual.. Hell even I do sometimes. If you dont want one, good for you. That doesnt make someone else that has one bad, or stupid for buying one.

Auto's can be fast, and if you want the ease of auto with the the spirit of a manual, spring for a tiptronic, it's just as much fun!
I personally prefer manual, but there's nothing wrong with auto.......there's an 8 second quick class neon that's auto I've got some friends with Tiptronic VW Golf GTI's and those things are a blast........so, auto might not be for everybody, but it does work for some. |

Just because its an automatic doesn't make it a bad car. If you would stop & think for a second you could see come logic in have an automatic. Like tightteg pointed out, less room for human error. And the reason people defend automatics its because they have been educated and understand the topic. FYI. My 98 EX AUTO beat SI's left & right.

First of all, at what point did anyone other than you resort to childish name calling? Second, you are only mad because you were absolutely SCHOOLED on a subject you did not take the time to research before you dedicated an entire post to it, therefor your anger should be directed at yourself. Third, if you wish to post ignorant threads you will be told you are wrong... if you can't handle that do some quick research and maybe you wont come off so ignorant.. and the fact you said it would be ok only if she had been cute... so are you saying only ugly chicks can drive a stick? clarify yourself if you don't want to be bashed for ignorance otherwise deal with it.

Hahaha maturity!!!!!!!! Give me a standard, you can take auto. Same car/specs, i guarantee you I can beat you, drag or race. I think Ive done enough RESEARCH and gave it enough THOUGHT to figure that one out. Man, people are saying they like auto because it reduces human error. That is pathetic. wtf is this GARBAGE!!!!!! I have no faith in my own driving skills so I'll just let the machine drive for me and I will back up using automatic because I happen to drive one and I SURE can drive automatic alot better than standard. Oh I forgot one, the clutch doesnt make my LEG HURT in an AUTOMATIC. I lost a race, so first thing to do is make my engine better, never mind actually learning how to drive, that would just be rediculous. I would rather click in my button on my automatic stick shift, pull it down a few notches and press the thing that makes me move with my foot(I think its a gas petal, but i have to do more RESEARCH). Like the title of this thread, I am disgusted. Or maybe I just havent put enough thought into this post. |

Probably not because had you bothered to ask most of the people who replied do in fact drive a manual( including myself.. but I must be ugly since I know how).. and were simply pointing out your lack of knowledge on a subject you dedicated a thread to, it's that simple. If you can't take constructive criticism that is your problem.. but the personal attacks and lack of knowledge you show by posting * Bite Me* and so on doesn't make anyone want to listen to you.. if you can present yourself in a well thought out manner and without rude comments maybe more people would listen to you.If you have anything else rude to say or anymore personal attacks do yourself a favor and take it to private messages. |

That is great advice. Lets keep the personal attacks off the boards guys. There are so many ways to debate a topic in a professional and mature manner, lets try some of them out.

Actually consistancy is important in some races, take bracket racing for example. You want to have very consistant times in bracket racing, this will give you some serious upper hand..
EX. A car runs 17s consistantly in the quarter.. When it comes time to race a car that runs 10s it will get a 7 second head start. This leaves little room for driver error for the 10 second car. If he jumps a light or misses a shift hes just lost to a 17 second car.
