Some more 5sp stuff
quick question, if a auto can spin them off the line then why can a 5sp always beat a auto off the line. I thought you wanted to spin the least as possible inorder to have maximum grip. anyway explain the advantages of a 5sp clutch drop launch compared to a auto powerbrake launch, i know its a newbie question, slap me and thank you in advance

4. The auto has 10fwhp/10fwtq less than a 5spd.
3. The autos 1st through 4th are taller and thus less acceleration even if it had the same gears as the 5spd.
2. Even with a high stall convertor, shorter gearing is needed to keep up otherwise once the 5spd hits 3rd the auto gets walked.
