    The execution on the manual swap is so well done it looks like it came from the factory that way. I believe if dodge were to build manual chargers they would sell. I'd buy one.

      Yeah my scat challenger is manual pushing 760hp but still a pain from a dig against the automatics ( I think I just need to find an empty road and see what works) 1st gear seems too short, starting 2nd is nicer but a bit slower off the line, then i worry about dropping it too hard and breaking something. Fun as hell though.

    • @scottskinner577
      @scottskinner577 Před 3 lety +16

      Manual used to be the shit from a dig purely because autos sucked and with a stick you had more control and more gears. Now that none of those things are true anymore, it's all about fun and what you like. Auto's have unfortunately taken over drag racing long ago.
      I had 2 '90 model 5.0s back in the day. Both 5 speed. Drove an automatic 5.0 one time on a test drive, felt more like a Crown Vic than a Mustang. The difference between transmissions then and now is stunning.

      @@scottskinner577 yeah these autos float through the gears like they aren't even there. The pause I get shifting they just don't have. Manuals to me make you feel more connected to car, there is a level of skill required, and way better in weather. Any kid can hop in an automatic and stomp on gas. No skill required. And im jealous, I test drove I think(could be wrong) an 86? 5.0 back in bank in the day, that car was mean, clutch was a monster to push in. But I had no credit back then, denied...

      @@dieseljunker9234 I couldn't agree more. I been a truck driver for nearly 20 years. You said it well about the connection. In big trucks, I don't like the little movements and on slick surfaces. So far I've never been assigned an Auto though. Just a few temporary trips. But in my line of work, local delivery, in Dallas traffic, I'd still take an auto in a heartbeat.
      Personal vehicles, I still agree with you. Although I'm way past the thrill of daily driver manual shifting. Certain purposes, hell yeah they'll still always have a use.
      I asked my flight instructor if it's still useful to learn to fly in a *tail dragger* being that modern (commercial use) planes are all nose wheel steer. She asked me how I learned to drive, in an automatic or manual vehicle. I told her in an old 4 speed Ford Ranger. She asked "So are you glad you learned early to shift gears early on? Or do you think it was a waste of time?"
      I was like "OK, point taken" 👍

    Interesting, when I was a kid I was all about turbo power, like didn't like superchargers at all. Mostly to do with the limited power you can get with them. As I got older I started to appreciate the superchargers. Sure, they don't make as much power as turbo, but the instant torque and that whine really kinda makes up for it. So I ended up picking up a c32 amg to go along with my gr supra, and it's been fun modding it. Even the whine on that smaller motor is intoxicating and a looker.

      You said "connection to the vehicle". Yeah that's important in big rigs too I've been stuck a couple times on job sites in a loaner Auto that I know I wouldn't have been in my typical Manual truck. You don't feel the ground under you with an auto the way you do with a stick, so yeah Connection is the right way to describe it. The ground AND the vehicle.
