[@needforsuv]

tc auto is faster on a track

[@gatorage850]

Jose Vega auto is "almost always" faster in a straight line on power. the main reason is a torque converter. it multiplies torque of an engine at the same load. basically your engine bogs less by staying in max torque longer. so an auto can pull longer gears (shift less and faster) and keep you in the max power longer. only down fall is you not putting max power to the wheel (high HP just make wheel spin anyways), but in auto, you're putting more power over time to wheel under acceleration. keep in mind this is "almost always" ture not always.

Automatics in sport mode are configured to be as fast as possible, which means gear changes are a lot quicker than manual shifting. Manual stick shift or paddle shifters will nearly always lose to straight automatics in track mode, (drag race for sure) and obviously the power output makes a big difference.

Thanks again Roman and Andre +The Fast Lane Car it was a blast. Main take away for me elevation costs the hellcat 1 second the manual transmission another .25 seconds, based on some altitude data (altitude factor .9276) Romans car is running per manufacturers specs. As for the M6 there is not a solid reference points but best I have seen is 11.8 which would be 12.8 at altitude. This being my first drag race on a track with a time of 12.4 I have room to improve and an excuse to get some slicks and get back down to Bandimere, until then look for me in the fast lane.

[@shivinshivin3372]

Skoldpadda bro try using a manual on hillstart. It would take you 30 minutes to learn that

[@breeze979truckin3]

Neither driver impressed me they left too soft and actually shifted like they were on the freeway hahaha come and run me in a stick I'll show you fast

[@chelseaking2262]

I'm sure you 2007 manual can beat they're hellcat lmao

[@lonzyrt7351]

That auto trans is hard to beat on the track.. a manual is fun as hell on the sreet.. keep em rolling.. thanks for sharing

[@BigBoyz33]

Manuals are fun to drive but not in traffic. Thats where Autos shine. But to each their own...

[@raywilson96]

New autos are faster than manuals but those manual launches sucked

[@DefenseEngineer]

Ray Wilson you're right. The only thing I learned from this video was that neither driver could properly launch a manual transmission.

[@camman9235]

And that's why you don't see them using stick shift cars that much

[@viijackiiv9713]

+Cam Man it's because.neither of them can drive manual is 10 times faster if you shift propperly

[@juanbeltran8672]

Jack Gaming nigga it doesn't work that way 😂😂

[@viijackiiv9713]

+Juan Beltran I bet your as white as paper saying nigga also it does kinda work that way if you redline for a few seconds or shift at lower rpm you won't go as fast you have to time your shifts and know how to Launch and not spin your wheels to much whish ik in a hell cat is hard to do but you need to only spin a lil bit spinnin ain't winnin

[@myusernames1967]

13.6 in a 700hp car.....whats the deal!!

[@mustafakhuzaima9722]

myusernames1967 elevation which means less power and no drag radials which means poor launch and traction so both making the car alower

[@DevPack]

hellcats will do mid 11's easy just crappy conditions. My stock scat pack did a 12.6 lol.

[@Jmalb]

They both had a 2.8 60ft. Which is terrible. It's so much harder to launch the manual. If either of them could have gotten a better launch, their ETs would have been better.

[@1guyin10]

5764 feet above sea level, worn street tires, less than ideal track conditions and two drivers that are trying not to break their cars. 13.6 is probably about right.

[@goodinsrt8]

1guyin10 I ran a 13.6 in my old 5.7 hemi.

[@mendilatio7632]

Great video 👍👍

[@Anonymous594]

“I don’t have eco mode” 😑 yup. Because you’re car is a manual. You’re in charge of the efficiency, essentially.

[@tureparterito9081]

I think manual is better it just need a good driver

[@alphagaming9004]

Tu Reparterito it’s not, no driver can shift perfectly fast and consistent and fast as a computer, can. Sticks are really only good for stuff like drifting till they build computers for that too.

[@tureparterito9081]

Alpha Gaming i agreed

[@chuyp3639]

I agree with tu reparterito... Spoder mon... are u stupid? Looks like you never see or drive a stick shift... well maybe in the Xbox.

[@tureparterito9081]

Chuy P that may be why but its ok man

[@zenayang8490]

so true

[@01234slayer43210]

5:50 as a manual transmission driver i understand that feeling driving automatic, lol im like, what the.... This is so cool! im like driving a bump car.

[@paulcondie2520]

Automatic transmissions have come along long way!!! Look at big trucks, years ago they were mainly a manual case they couldn't build an auto strong enough but the new engineering and technology you just can't beat the new autos!!! Quick shifting, strong!!!

[@aseeds7785]

Manual nowadays is more for cinematic feeling, kind of like turbo lag for the tension building up. Some like it, some do not. Although there is a difference in skill, as the older man said. Automatic racing another Automatic is equally luck and skill rather stick racing stick is more skill than luck. (Assuming cars are of the same base and mod)

[@yankee1985524]

I honestly don't care if it is a second slower I would still take the manual...

[@skullcrusher7626]

Manual are more fun and automatics are more faster 💯

[@ojsymptom4493]

try downshifting from 5th to 2nd on a hair pin in an auto and youll see the diff. semi autos are the fastest obv, but standard with a clutch with left foot breaking is an art form

[@techmaster777]

Mustanglvr007 - What? How is it hard to find a manual challenger hellcat. They have a lot more of them available than the automatic around me

[@1Raunchy]

Mustanglvr007 - damn where do you live it? Last time I checked they still produce these things in either or

[@jessebailey6845]

Wonder what the actual percentage of Hellcats produced with manual vs auto?

Jesse Bailey Who knows, it depends. You can order them..

[@lanebarker297]

My friend is a manager at one of the biggest Dodge dealerships in TX (500 units sold a month) and I asked that EXACT question last night....10% manual / 90% auto - at his dealership for Hellcats

Regardless of outcome the ZF8 is hands down the best auto transmission ever put in a car or truck. Geman engineering at it's finest!

[@jessebailey6845]

crazyflyboy30 which is it I'd like to know?

[@Umpytime]

Matt McAvay manuals are more fun, manuals give me more control, and no one can text and drive in my manual car. I'm home there's lots of things a manual does better and lots of things an auto does better

[@crazyflyboy30]

Name one a manual does better.

[@gtgodbear6320]

A manual gives you the feeling of full control. There's nothing like downshifting into a corner without using the brakes and coming out the other end perfectly. My current CRV is the only automatic I've ever bought. I want to find a 5-speed project car.

[@ZENIGMATV]

Racing stick is a fading art. I’ve seen stick drivers so good they shift quick like an auto.

[@theshovster8505]

I have 4 old rigs 3 started out as automatics, at considerable hassle to myself I changed all 3 to a stick shift and could really care a less about quarter mile times I just think 3 peddles are cooler then 2! 👍

[@danteeightsix9069]

Automatic or manual. Who cares. Drive both!

[@Sebamakesmusic]

DantEightSix Nice suggestion

[@loves2smooch384]

Manual is Soo much fun , auto is what my bitch drives

I just bought a challenger RT with a 6 speed manual, dont regret a thing!

[@hammerboycb]

Fun video, good sports 😁

[@IanO3]

Everyone saying that people who dont drive a manual aren't real car enthusiasts are dumb. Being a car enthusiast isn't about what other people find acceptable. Being a car enthusiast is about not caring about what other people think and building the car YOU want. Just because one person feels more connected to the car driving a manual doesn't mean that everyone feels that way. Quit telling people what their dreams, goals and ideas should be and allow them to do as they see fit. All these clowns in the comment section just don't get it.

[@sparkzwave3400]

Triggered lol

[@homicyde3551]

I’m in auto, and knowing manual is needed

[@cthedogg1993]

Anthony Pendleton know it but still prefer automatic since being stuck in traffic 2 hours a day is a real drag.

[@lukemmurphy795]

LaTory50 You should try again man.

[@lukemmurphy795]

LaTory50 I'd say go for it. You have nothing to lose.

[@captainteamcarry3]

Manual still gives you more control, you just have to know how to control it AND have a rock-solid shifting system. You may not notice it in a straight line, but when you catch some oversteer you're gonna wish you had a clutch. 👍

[@longdark4ever]

I grew up in the 70's muscle car era, manual was the deal, automatics have come a looooooong way, but I have auto with paddle shifters in my challenger, and you do gain a little more time cause remember everytime you shift it's takes time and that is the killer here, paddle shifters are very responsive.

[@luisj5386]

With the stick you can't get MDS the feature where it runs on four cylinders when cruising for economy AND you can't get remote start either because obviously if left in gear it would drive off.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

Manuel's are fun, but autos almost always win races when matched evenly with the same powertrain. Back in the day, I was racing an auto Camaro SS 396 in my manual 68 Charger RT with built 440 & added six pk. She was easily beating him until I missed 3rd gear, and was all over

[@TrackPackRT]

I wish you fellas each had a set of drag radials on to take some of the traction woes out of it. A8 vs M6 where both hook up great is a very interesting comparison. I mean, a 2.8 60' time in the manual...I know you guys are at elevation but, man those things need some tires! haha

[@johnnylrico]

"What a mistake" Not,I'd take my manual Hellcat any day over the automatic. I test drove both,much more fun with a car you have to drive!Maybe different if I had to try and make money at the track,but my cat spends most of its life out cruising and making Mustangs and Camaros look silly in town!:-)

[@tr6864]

Even manual hellcat is more lighter than automatic hellcat because of it transmission, Automatic hellcat more faster because it's get 8 speed transmission. So it's can have more close gear ratio than a manual hellcat . That is why many manufacturer choose auto trans. Can create to 8-10 speed transmission. More gear = more close gear ratio = higher acceleration. Sorry more my bad english, atleast everyone can understand what I'm trying to say :P For the sake of spirited driving , I still prefer manual hehehe

[@Andrei-eb2du]

Syahwazz Waz they both have the same top speed and acceleration, but the automatic shifts faster that’s why it’s better, the 7th and 8th gears are just overdrives

[@adirtybottleofmilk5551]

The auto is like 8 pounds heavier

[@thehornblasterjohnny]

@@Andrei-eb2du the 5th and 6th gears in a 6 speed are still considered overdrive gears, the same as you'd consider 7th and 8th overdrive gears in the Auto. In most manual transmissons, 4th gear is a 1:1 gear ratio. This ratio varies more in automatics depending on manufacturer and total gears. Regardless, the auto is not faster due to faster changes alone. If this were the case, a manual would not be a full second slower... maybe a few tenths of a second with a good manual driver. Its the addition of 2 extra gears that gives a slightly better edge by improving shift points, maximizing the power band and then the fact of obvious faster shifting solidifies an auto over manual win. Nothing is worse than having to shift gears 50 yards from the finish due to gearing in a manual. Overall though, I much prefer a manual sports car when mucking about the town and having a overall good motoring experience.

[@sentinel0_096]

So lucky to have a dad that taught me how to drive stick tho. Getting a driver’s license this year was easy with an automatic, but i bought a manual car and will most likely buy a manual hellcat soon

[@ChopStickZero]

Never wondered since its kinda obvious nowadays but still interesting to see :)

[@aliraza-sl3ur]

ps. AUTO is faster

[@technom3598]

Ferguson101 not anymore. Also... Automatics have clutches they are clutch packs. Also the gm/Ford 10 speed shifts faster than Porsches pdk. Crazy I know

[@needforsuv]

not torque convertor tho

[@technom3598]

needforsuv what's not a torque converter

[@needforsuv]

a DCT clutches may be fast but at low speeds...

[@technom3598]

needforsuv dct isn't even the fastest anymore.

[@Harvdawg1981]

There's nothing wrong with having a automatic

[@MrMoua-rc2ho]

At the end of the day, we all love cars

[@deeblakdimes3262]

As for manual you need to do half clutch that is the same launch control in bmw x6 m. a well launch, greatly boosting the speed at which you accelerate from a stop.

[@BriefCarBreakdown]

He put his car in eco mode haha

[@tareksaleh7016]

BriefCarBreakdown that old guy seems cool af I’d kick it with him

[@goodinsrt8]

Which ones faster, an automatic, or two guys that can't drive a manual?

[@jessebailey6845]

Come on down to colorado your Hemi or scat pack doesn't have what it takes. 5.7 would be close to 15 seconds in colorado at almost 6000 feet of elevations.

[@goodinsrt8]

Jesse Bailey watch the video

[@jessebailey6845]

I'm in the video ?

[@goodinsrt8]

Jesse Bailey ok then, you can't shift.

[@jessebailey6845]

Do you think there could be other factors in play or just my shifting lol?

[@TheCastle2k]

On an automatic car you can fall asleep,lollll... Manual cars are simply more fun to drive and gives you a real driver experience... The responsive sensation of the car that's completely on your will is my personal feeling while stepping on the gas... :)

Are they stock or tuned? Early shift? Good driver?
