[QUOTE=jmg;29314463]That's actually pretty surprising given Scott is a professional. I managed faster times threshold braking in a course that ends with a stop box over abs braking, and I am no professional. /QUOTE]
My only experience stopping without abs is karts and those are rear brakes so you can tell you're locking up when the rear starts to come around. I think I'd be faster in a car WITH abs than a car without but in that car WITH ABS, I'm faster still when I modulate so that the abs is not engaged. A better driver than I, (read: real racer, not just a track and autox junky like myself) could definitely sense lockup well enough to modulate even in a car with no ABS on board. |

Again, max braking force is the antithesis of ABS, so it doesn't matter. ABS literally releases the brake to regain grip, reducing max braking force to decrease braking distance. Quote:
Clutch in emergency braking in a manual is to prevent the engine from shutting off. We want the engine to keep running to power the braking and steering systems. If we don't clutch in, there is a good chance that the wheels will lock or spin too slowly and kill the engine. It has nothing to do with decreasing braking distance. The DCT does the same because it will, too, die for the same reason. Again, nothing to do with decreasing braking distance. A torque converter doesn't need to disengage because it will continue to run even if the wheels are not spinning. Again, nothing to do with braking distance. edited for clarity

Yeah I mean, I know what I have experienced with threshold braking. I'm also willing to accept that I don't know everything, and that there are many factors that could result in ABS outperforming threshold braking. It's just that suddenly this has become the cornerstone of the manual vs auto argument for some reason, when clearly, it's not.

Yup.
ALL BECAUSE i said i enjoy auto more than a manual haha Manual fanboys really couldn't just scroll past that post, they had to say something like, "NO WAY, MANUAL IS THE ONLY FUN YOU CAN HAVE! IF YOU DON'T DRIVE A MANUAL THAT MEANS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL!" #SAVETHEDEADARTSOCALLEDMANUAL |

But people think if you're not currently driving a manual it means you can't handle it or you're not skilled enough to keep driving it which is fucking laughable. Or people think you can only have fun driving a car if it's a manual. Which is also fucking laughable. Been driving manuals for over 2 decades. I see almost zero enjoyment in the act anymore. The only reason why i still have my manual car is because of the looks, power, the sound and the attention it brings. The car might be gone soon anyway to make room for both my C8's. Gotta keep the auto going strong!!! |

Jeez, this thread seems to have completely devolved into a "Let's bitch about people who like driving a manual tranny."

I've been driving our DCT Passat over the last 2 months since my E92 went down. I've driven either a 5MT or 6MT practically every day for the past 20+ years, and as I've only owned manual cars for myself, I was pretty miserable driving an auto. We picked up a '22 Veloster N 6MT last Saturday and I never thought I'd be so happy to drive a Hyundai Much better week for me driving the VN every day and having that third pedal back. Can't wait to get my E92 back in a couple weeks and get rid of the Passat soon for another car with a 6MT.

Well, that and the people trying to rationalize their auto transmissions as manual...

That started on bimmerpost when the E9x M3 got DCT. To this day, people will still argue in that forum the DCT is a manual. |

I'll recap for you. Post # 23 was the first real post about someone stating they don't want manual. No harm done. Post # 54 was the second real post about someone stating they don't want manual. Seems that it starts to get cooking with manual purists parading the thread as if they need to build their army in case they have to defend the manual. My post at #137 was my take on the subject. No harm done. No one refuted so far. Then blue87 and i were having a friendly back and forth about our OPNIONS on the pros and cons and why we prefer one or another. So far no one was butthurt. Or were they actually? Because post #152 seems to have started the fire on the sarcasm. Then post #167 which seems to have sprayed the entire thread with fuel to start this whole thing. Not saying it's his fault. He was simply stating an innocent opinion of his, in which i agreed on, and then someone REALLY got butthurt. And then the thread spiraled in many different directions, which made zero sense to the subject at hand. Almost as if people are coming up with aimless reasoning to help them justify their argument in which they know they are losing, or will lose anyway. It just doesn't make sense. So if you think about it. The only people that are really bitching in this thread, are the manual people. The auto people are actually dropping sense in the thread. |

The only BMW transmission you could remotely say that about is the SMG. In the E46 M3 the SMG is literally the exact same transmission as the manual, just has hydraulics working the clutch for the driver. Manual swaps are so easy in that car because internals are identical. All that it needs is some minor machining on bellhousing for detents. One of the main reasons a lot of people hate the SMG, because it acts like a true manual gearbox. Inexperienced drivers get in a SMG car and go "what is wrong with this thing?". It takes a little skill to get an SMG to drive smooth.

Most modern day automatics can hold the RPM's in manual mode and in auto mode as well. Hence why there's different settings in most or all of modern day high performance cars. Most automatics in manual mode will let you bounce off the rev limiter. Some, i believe, will automatically shift up for you, to protect the engine i assume. So where is the manual purist take on this debate which shouldn't have been started in the first place? Can you hold rpm's or have "control" in an auto just as you would in a manual? Yes Can you have fun and/or enjoy an auto just as you would in a manual? Yes What other nonsense do manual purists need to pour into a discussion like this just to help them sleep better at night? No one is saying anyone is dumb or wrong for wanting or currently driving a manual. Quite frankly, no one gives a shit. I know i don't. Couldn't care less if you flood your entire neighborhood with manuals. Go for it. Have a manualfest. But yes, you can absolutely HAVE FUN AND ENJOY an automatic, just as manual drivers can enjoy and have fun in their manual. inb4 manual people start talking about some other bullshit which would make no sense in this discussion. Let's talk about tires now. Or better yet, i bet they start talking about headlights and how they're only useful in a manual car. |

So in your further effort to frame "manual fanboys" as some sort of inferior idiots, you blurt out that unhinged rant? Oh the irony.
