What are the pros and cons of racing a manual ?

Pro more fun. Con harder on rear gears. ---Trevor

Re: Manual Trannys

As I see it would go like this.

Pro's
1) You get your man card back.
2) You actually get to drive the car down the track and not just ride in it.
3) Your wife, girlfriend and or daughter won't want to drive it.
4) One good clutch is equal to 100 convertors.
5) Cost is pretty much equal compared to buying a good auto and a couple convertors.
6) Your car won't leave little puddles of pink stuff under it.
7) Less variables to change with the temperature of going rounds therefore making a stick more consistent than an auto the deeper you go in the late rounds.

Con's
1) You will loose friends at the track when you put them on the trailer with a stick.
2) You will loose more friends at the track when they can't borrow your spare convertor anymore.
3) You will have to become friends with someone that has experience in tuning a clutch. This is to help speed up the learning curve.

I think that's a start. :D

Re: Manual Trannys

LMAO. One more con. You will lose more friends because when you take the starting line with you when you launch and they are behind you and for some reason when they stage in your bald spot (which for some reason always seems to happen) its your fault they spin the tires!
