My point is that an auto is easy to drive compared to a manual especially at high HP. ;)

It is also easier on the wallet (less HP needed to run the same time).

Edited for lack of proof.

Autos are easy to drive, compared to manual at same power level. I didn't say better on drive train BUT you're telling me that using a trans brake is easier on the drivetrain? :rofl: You know how these things work?

I agree about being easier on the wallet, but how do you get "easier on the rest of the drivetrain"?

Less drivetrain shock. And duane, I never mentioned anything about a transbrake. I mearly said an automatic transmission.

Unless your car has too much power for the tires to handle, a brake-torque launch usually will not spin the wheels. This is because the automatic transmission absorbs the shock by design, and brake-torquing actually reduces stress on the rest of the drivetrain. Instead of a sudden massive load, the drivetrain has the torque applied slower instead of one huge jolt.

^^^ You didn't answer the question...just said the same thing again.

Let me rephrase, how does a manual tranny transmit less shock to the drive train? I'd like to hear this one ;)

Got to love when the trans brake fucks up and releases 1st gear insted of reverse and you take off flying backwards dose not happen often but when it dose its great :evil2:

Run an auto with 1000 hp with a trans brake and see what happens to drivetrain parts . :icon_razz

Right after you build me one. I dont have the cash flow to build or support a 400whp car right now, let alone a 1000whp car.

BTW, you better beat supra rich's time in his stock turbo car.

I was being sarcastic but I did email him for confirmation.

FYI my time is already faster, ;) (close to a sec) You should have used the search button and saved that comment for a better one. ;)
