Can I get a red pill on the constant use of automatic transmissions

>Why does everyone use auto trans?
Because they're comfy and easier to drive
>What are the high stall converters do?
Help you launch at a higher rpm
>Why autos?
Cheap, less work, 350/350 is the cheapest drivetrain available

Most do not have a manual valvebody

why are boomers so fucking gay

what type of transmission does roadkill always use. It's like auto but they have 1,2,3 + OD it seems like. Like it runs on a stick, but it doesn't shift in the conventional way. It's like they pull back to gear up and then fold it for OD

Because they created you

That's just a 4l60 or 4l70 with a b&m ratchet shifter, or other kind of ratchet shifter. If you want a mind fuck look up Hurst lightning rods

Lencos are neat.

Because the boomers who can afford these are in their 70s now and the manual is getting too hard to do when they put their yearly 5 miles on the car

>>16430977
I stopped watching Road Kill because every single fucking car they built was an auto. Pathetic.

80% of muscle cars were auto...

Count the plug wires. It's a v8; just some funky stuff going on with the intake/exhaust ports.

Auto is faster and more consistent for drag racing. Also a strong auto trans is readily available, a string manual less so (junkyard builds).

this

nobody uses manual trans for serious drag racing

Sequentials are getting more popular
