The manual might be less likely to get stolen due to people not knowing. But wouldn’t manual technically be easier to put in neutral and roll it out lol

[@RUBIX3]

Yup much easier to put in neutral

[@2dudescamp]

You do know to put the AT in neutral is simple as pulling out the tiny storage insert next to the shifter then pulling up on the red ribbon below. That’s it.

[@AKAKRIMES]

Theres a little strap on autos that puts the car in neutral not even a foot away from the shifter

[@sonandsanford4963]

Silly.... there are people who still knows how to drive a manual. I am teaching my kids (11 and 13) to drive manual tranny.

[@rickhunter6513]

Yeah, but carjackers aren’t going to be flying around the streets causing mayhem and taking off from the cops while pushing their challengers in neutral

[@senorm4363]

easier to steal, waaay harder to sell. usually only a few hundred VINs are ever prouced for each model year of car so (as long as the owner knows the VIN #) if you want to sell it its going to be inherently more risky.

[@Rick-fe8xn]

I say it as a joke, but I rarely find people that can drive em or willing to learn. It's way more fun, but you do need security because older guys steal cars too

[@dennisgilmore6547]

😂😂

[@dennisgilmore6547]

Shit ok willing to learn

[@musclecars92]

Manual transmission is the only way.I will drive a V8muscle car I am aware that modern automatic transmissions can shift quicker but I Don't. Care I still prefer a six speed manual transmission

[@RUBIX3]

Same. I miss driving a manual

[@musclecars92]

@RUBIX3 I know if the charger came with a manual transmission u would have gotten it I respect thats.

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

My too. I have a theory that driving a manual makes you a better driver. Makes people pay better attention. Auto's just free one hand up to do dumb shit like taking selfies. I've still never had the opportunity to drive a car with the newer dual clutch style autos or automated manuals. I do like the idea of sequential/paddle shifting, I'd like to drive a car like that someday.

[@brucelee8951]

Right but once you get it in neutral and rolled out how you gonna move it

[@blackice7408]

What about the 7 speed in the coorvette zr1?

[@fulcrumsee5968]

It's not unstealable, but it is a hell of a deterrent in the United States. Most drivers know how to drive a manual globally speaking. Every where outside the United States the vast majority of cars on the road are manual. Out of the 66% of people who know how to drive a manual what are the are demographics? Most of the people who steal cars (those who were charged with Grand Theft or Car Jacking) were under 25, and i guarantee you most of those kids born in 2000 or later have no idea how to drive a manual.

[@davidx4590]

I'm a carhauler 9 car carrier, I too must drive stick to load the truck.

[@RUBIX3]

I meant to mention that! That’s true

[@davidx4590]

@RUBIX3 Very few manuals delivered to new car Dealerships these days, matter fact, the last few manuals I delivered where Toyota G86 & Supra, I haul Hondas too, can't remember the last time I loaded a manual for them, I also haul Rams outta Decula GA rail yard. I used to see widebody's up in Niagara NY holding yard that came out of Canada but never hauled from there, but did out of Michigan 3 yrs ago.

[@userundefined01]

My 2022 Challenger Scat Pack widebody is a maunal. I had to special order the widebody with a manual.

[@tttjj111]

I went to a dealership a few months ago because they had a manual Nissan versa. The salesman said they had a hard time selling it because no one could drive it. Even funnier they couldn't figure out how to start it. They had the same issue trying sell their stick shift tacomas.

[@lesterlyons6779]

They pushed my manual hellcat away from my house but I had a lock on the clutch pedal. The car was recovered intact, dashboard damage and broken drive window. I have carlock with vibration sensors now.

[@Pilot_graaape_45]

Honestly at this point if you own a hellcat, scat pack, trackhawk, or any other SRT and you DON’T have that thing wired so hot you can’t see where it is down to the inch, you get what you deserve. I have a 2016 Hellcat and it’s got GPS tracking, an airtag, and I take the fuel injector relay out everytime it’s not in my garage.

[@bksvdb]

Good video. Yeah, the guys in the videos were "car thieves", but they weren't car thieves. ~ The real ones, relish the opportunity to drive a manual. The ones who love cars and are deep in an underground scene.

[@erim1513]

Impossible? No. Harder? Yes.

[@casualgamers3369]

The thing is it takes skill to drive manual well. But anyone can drive manual badly. The thief probably doesn't care if they burn out your clutch while stealing it

[@oberzocker5117]

I think they‘d still be stolen but only by a very small percentage of thieves if they are doing it for longer than your average college kid only capable of driving Automatic. I‘d guess only very few of them have been factory ordered as manuals, hence the percentage is diminishing small compared to the overall theft statistics….

[@josiah172]

My buddy from work recently started getting into cars. He was talking about manual swapping his civic. I took him on a cruise in my manual swapped is300 and he was blown away. He goes “it seems like a lot of extra work compared to autos” Had him rethinking the whole swap. People really are afraid to learn an ancient skill. Sure, they can steal a manual. Good luck selling it to someone.

[@thomasj1026]

Well, manual cars don't have automatic start. They can be stolen. Just need to know how to drive one. Don't bet on it. I need yall to keep buying slush boxes so they leave my car alone Also knowing how to drive a stick and knowing how to drive a stick quickly is 2 different things.

[@davidx4590]

And lastly, All manuals don't necessarily shift the same, same pattern but slight differences that would make it challenging in the event of a chase, a missed gear & that azz is pitted without a doubt!

[@Adierit]

the answer to your question; no they aren't magically unstealable just because they use the oldest method of shifting your transmission, there is just less of them and so therefore less to be stolen in the first place

[@Mittenpaw]

Nah, install a Parking brake lock if you are scared.

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

Years ago some kids tried to steal my neighbor's manual Isuzu Trooper and only succeeded in burning out the clutch and ruining first gear. Especially in this area, car theft is just kids joyriding, or tweakers looking for parts to sell. I wouldn't expect many of them can drive manual. It's funny, when I was a kid, people said the same thing about fixed gear bicycles. And it was true to an extent, if you aren't used to it and it's your first time, they are very hard to ride. Sometimes one would get stolen then abandoned a block away.

[@Cam-LTowing-qz3cu]

Remember where you heard it first. Somebody should vent a antitheft device that when your car is parked all your tires are deflated so it can’t be driven and then when you get to your vehicle, they will instantly inflate when it’s ready to drive so pretty much your tires go flat when parts so thieves can’t drive off with it.

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

I like it, but I think keeping the tires deflated most of the time with the whole weight of the vehicle on them would ruin the tires pretty fast. What about those built-in pneumatic jacks that some race cars have, when you park, the car would just lift itself off the tires. Of course then I guess you're just giving easy access to your catalytic converter.

[@russellmuscleatl]

I had the same anti theft mods on my manual that I had on my automatic hellcat including parking in my garage. It’s not worth the risk.

[@dariusbeeks8311]

Not gonna lie i was a tech for a toyota dealership and I had a car come in and it was manual and I taught myself how to drive that mf that day🤣🤣🤣

[@aDatsun240z]

I was born in 2001 and I've known manual since I was 7 thanks to my Mexican falily

[@aap_pixel1612]

I recommend all manual drivers to leave their keys in the car cause I can’t drive em 😉

[@SpuddyLlama]

As much as it's a good antitheft against useless thieves but stickshifts are generally easier to steal.

[@donaldgrant9067]

Well I heard the figure of only 18% of the population can drive a stick, so only 18% of the thieves can still my Cadilac. My nephew needed to borrow my car and said yes he could drive a stick, but it only took 3 minutes for him to give up trying to move it. It was fun to watch. But unstealable, no it is not.

[@brucelee8951]

Went to Atlanta kept mine in the parking garage didn’t get touched 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Well-Hello-There]

I have a 2019 R/T manual, punk-ass’s broke into my garage and took the keys to both my wife’s Lexus and my R/T. Mine were found on my passenger seat, my wife’s car was stolen. So from experience yes manual do give you protection.

[@exiteternium]

Nope, not harder for me, i drive manual, and practically prefer it. the transmissions are much more stout that their hydraulic controlled and actuated counter parts usually. yeah it sucks you have to pull the whole trans to do a general maintenance item called a clutch, but Meh. the reason they are harder to steal is because of the fact most people don't know how to drive a manual. and many who can are not adept enough to drive it in a way to make a get away from being pursued.

[@AKAKRIMES]

@@exiteternium yeah your definitely one of those old guys i was talking about who thinks hes superior for driving stick, you dont even have a desirable car that would be worth stealing youll be fine I promise you that nobody is foaming at the mouth for an opportunity to take your 335i

[@exiteternium]

@@AKAKRIMES LOL someone is salty.

[@AKAKRIMES]

@@exiteternium dude your 30 talking about "your salty" 😭 its clear your intentions werent to be helpful, i am "salty" that you had to be rude for no reason, what was the point of correcting my eariler comment like that if not to be an azzhole? Or maybe you just couldnt resist correcting me because you are unironically somewhere on the spectrum, like high functioning but sometimes you have your little moments, not dumb but like elon musk/mark Zuckerberg tism, i mean i heard your voice in your videos and i wouldnt put it past you and i genuinely mean that with no disrespect, i work with alot of mentally disabled or impaired people and i see it in you slightly Have a good day

[@AB-vc7ox]

Only a fool would rely on just that or a factory alarm.

[@OddlySpecificFilms]

I hope so, mine is a manual

[@americanhero1234]

I am willing to bet someone you knew is responsible for stealing your car.🤔🤔🤔

[@ArdonCarmín]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@King_Quin]

lol the fact that y’all think these thieves will see a manual and not try to steal it is ridiculous lol

[@Darkie6ixx]

If i really wanted a hellcat that bad id probably do sum weird like a single lug conversion and take off a wheel every night or sum.

[@HanginInSF]

It will just get stolen by professionals

[@jjacks5443]

it’s actually easy asf to learn how to drive a manual 😂 you would think someone that is experienced in auto theft definitely knows how to drive stick come on now be serious it’s not organic chemistry 😂

[@rgekam5814]

They will learn stop it

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

LOL LIES. Many other youtubers have done videos WITH thieves showing them hacking these exact cars. Likes its childs play. IF YOUR CAR CAN BE STARTED BY A FOB, it can easily be stolen. EASILY.

[@coolcatsguitars]

I got a flatbed wrecker so, what's stopping me? but I think anyone who would want a Hellcat or similar already knows how to drive manual. otherwise we are dealing with really weak dumb people.

[@danlaur7973]

Thugs & Mopars go together like peanut butter & jelly

[@dennisgilmore6547]

Shit I want to drive a Manuel

[@megatronn194]

Yeah, as long as the thief isnt 'Baby Driver.'😆 But I'd like to believe that your manual Mopar is safe from the average skinny jeans wearing takeover scrub.

[@Turshin]

No they're not. In some cases easier.

[@AVC-Works]

If you know how to use it, yes

[@CampingGuy]

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

[@AKAKRIMES]

Idk why old people think that having a manual will theft proof their car or that they are superior to others for having one Driving manual isnt even hard i learned in like 10 minutes when i was 8 and theifs dont care about the condition of your clutch, theyll force it in gear

[@exiteternium]

forcing in gear won't mess up clutch as much as it will the syncros in the trans, and a grinding gear or gears on a trans is hard to sell when stolen.

[@AKAKRIMES]

@@exiteternium you have no idea what your talking about, I PROMISE YOU chop shops don't care at all if the gears grind Your comment provided absolutely no value and was the equivalent of correcting somebody for using the wrong your, thanks for the useless input!

[@exiteternium]

@@AKAKRIMES bad ruined syncros means the trans is now worthless on a salvage yard sale. and only good for a core. most just try and respray or wrap and re-vin then resell.

[@AKAKRIMES]

@@exiteternium im not gonna argue with you man have a good day, you've never experienced anything like that first hand in your quaint and quiet suburban community and all your knowledge on the subject comes from youtube

[@exiteternium]

@@AKAKRIMES LOL ok so if chop shops are the primary method, why are there so many hellcat theft recoveries where the whole car is still in one piece, and not parted out.. maybe the engine or diff isn't in one piece anymore cause they had that diff issue, or the thieves took it to a street takeover and banged it off the rev limiter for 5+minutes straight doing donuts. the fact you don't even know what synchros are or how they effect a manual transmissions gear selection tells me all I need to know about you, LOL, and no, my car knowledge comes from wrenching myself, Wyotech, and service manuals.
