Do you stroke yourself everytime you see someone saying they drive an automatic and then you go "lol auto", get excited, and ejaculate into your eyeballs and blind yourself? Snow blind. |

The hate on automatics is laughable. I won't argue performance (ie 0-60),but really, even the stick isn't "fast". Plenty of other stock auto vehicles that'll smoke the 6spd.
Everyone has their reasons for owning their car. The hate in seemingly all car communities for automatics is sickening. tl;dr Why can't we all just get along!? |

1)Trac Off completely...
2)Brakes to the floor. 3)Depress Accelerator all the way 4)The torque converter locks at 2.5kRPM~ so around there you should let go of the brakes, try to do it before it locks up. Attempt to do it in a fluid motion Not sure if it helps but you can play with easing off the brakes so tires spin to higher RPMs...auto burnout? xD

Good video of Jay Leno checking out an FRS on Youtube. At the end he tries to do a burnout. Don't think he turned the trac off and just gets a little chirp out of it. He was disappointed! I know for a fact the car can do MUCH better then he did in the video. |

The override only occurs when you brake after the throttle is already on. If you brake first, it'll let you build up a little throttle to launch, but honestly you'll probably bog since you can't get em up to 4k like the car needs in order to launch decently.

As an Automatic owner, I lol at some too. Just the ones that bought the auto and want to launch and track and do drifts and burnouts and things like that. The auto trans is surprisingly good with the paddles. But if youre going to do any more than the occasional twisting and winding road, you really should have bought the stick.
Edit: Not trying to fuel the hate, I just don't think he was trying to shit on Auto's in general like some following post made it look like. I mean, he could have. Either way, his opinion shouldn't bother anyone as much as it seems it did. Last edited by xRavenFRSx; 08-29-2014 at 10:15 AM. |
