Even motortrend knows those times are fake.

Not all automatics are slushboxes. Performance cars are moving to DCT precisely because they can shift automatically without the shitty fluid coupling. With that factor eliminated, DCT can shift faster than any human can, so it actually is superior to a traditional manual in terms of performance.

And even then, modern autos with torque converters aren't as bad as they used to be, especially in cars with power (where drivetrain losses aren't as noticeable). Some slushboxes can even beat their manual counterparts in a drag race.

Personally I'm OK with DCT and flappy paddles, though it will likely be a while before they're common in my financial reach (shitbox status).

Dual clutch (or a properly tuned CVT which is pretty much nonexistent)= performance

Manual = Driver engagement

Slushbox auto = maximum comfy

Some of the best automotive engineers engineers in the world (citation needed) have decided that an automatic transmission is better than a standard in their high performance cars. Do you really think you know better than them? No, because you're an anonymous shitposter on the automotive board of an anime website.

PDK outperform manual. Most DCTs in sports cars will out perform a manual.

>>15615276
Obviously CVT wasn't yet a thing when the comfiest landbarges were being produced. But theoretically, at least, wouldn't you say that CVT could be even comfier than a regular auto? Cruising would be even smoother.

>>15615408
Doubtful. The current GT-R is already 4000lbs. The new one is slated to have electric motors, which will make it all the more pigfat. might give the NSX a run for its money tho (lol).

Hey now, stop picking on the cornered nissan fangirl, it's not her fault nissan can no longer produce a proper manual sports car. And don't forget nips still have the LFA.

Because a manual transmission gives the driver control over their car. Which is something the government does not think you should have.

Driving down the highway and your cars gas gets stuck? No worries, you can just go to neutral, no matter what. If you were in an automatic, theres all sorts of extra chances your car can kill you. Perhaps it decides it doesnt want to go in to neural while the rpms are at 6000 and your push button ignition joins in the murder. You try your emergency brake and it breaks. Now you can die conveniently from a car malfunction that was certainly not designed by your government.

>Automatics don't have neutral
Come back when you've actually driven a car.

>>15615182
New cars are so quiet that even with fake engine sounds through the speakers it's impossible to judge when to shift without staring at the tach.

Manual is fun and can be quicker.

Same thread of corvette and gtr like people care or will change their minds towards the cars.

You're saying you can shift better than a perfectly timed computer everytime?
