diff. between manual and auto.

[brabbani]

i've searched on the differences between the quarter miles times between the '02 manual and auto P5 and i haven't been able to find an auto time. does anyone know the difference in the manual and auto times?

 

[Striker187]

prolly be a little hard to find unless people post their own times. a good site is www.car-stats.com but they only have a manual p5 listed.

Generally you can take about 1 second off an auto time for a manual, or add 1 second to a manual time for an auto.

For higher end cars though with advanced auto trannys, this rule doesnt always hold true.

The auto feels pretty zippy, but when u really need the power, u wouldn't belive how slow the car feels. I don't know how much of a difference 1 sec would make, would anyone know that? I'm doin physics 20 right now, but i don't wanna figure it out. If vehicle one accelerates to 100kph in 10 seconds, and vehicle 2 does it in 11 seconds, how much further ahead is vehicle 1? First u wanna figure out that acceleration of the cars, in m/s/s. Then use one of the distance formulas... with Vi and Vf in it to calculate.... But yea, auto sucks, u wanna get a manual, esp for this smaller engine. The auto sucks a lot of what little power this engine has.... Er s***, u wanted quater mile times.... well damn i already wrote soo much tho.... welll, it's easier to figure out the 0-60 times... quater mile will be a b****... I heard the auto's run high 18's... But then again i live in Calgary where the air pressure is not quite soo high, proally affects performance.... Came ded even with a 2001 Nissan Pathfider - 200hp, in RWD mode. The car was being manually shifted even tho it's an auto. I let my auto do the work. Gl finding out bud.

Auto you can expect to be 17.5-18.5 depending on condition. From what I have seen at the track

 

[mp5jeff]

autos run low 18's manuals with a good driver will see a low 17/high 16 i believe, so about 1 second difference in the 1/4 mile...

damn so my 16.9 stock isnt that bad then with a manual? thought i screwed up!!

 

[mp5jeff]

nope thats decent, im just tellin from what ive seen at the track before from manual and auto p5's

 

[joka1]

0-60 :

Consumer Reports has 10.4sec for the auto

Motor Trend has 8.8sec for the manual

Car and Driver has 9.2sec for the manual

 

[drumsbeloud]

8.8!! damn, they must have beat the sh*t out of the clutch!

Uuhm... So my 8.5 is pretty good, then, eh? =) Granted, my clutch is getting pretty close to needing replacement... That could be why.
