    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    I think your sample size is smaller than you believe given the fact the most activity we see is localized on the internet and outside of this community you just never really experience it. It is a false truth, in my opinion. Also, we are talking stock for stock, not power-based modifications...

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    I am not entirely sure how this became about me? But... okay I'll bite. Yes, I have a few select mods waiting for my car: tires, wheels, a shifter, some weight reduction, and most likely a CDV delete too. The goal is a 10.9@whateverhappens on stock power. And I am willing to bet that in a...

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    You do know that the average Joe HC owner never even leaves the house with his/her car, much less takes it to the track and races it, right? Unless stock A8 HC owners are contracting Leah Pritchett to drive for them there is a pretty low probability they'll accomplish anything ever. Oh, wait...

    Jacking up a Challenger from the front with a floor jack

    Short of an oil change or swapping wheels what business do we really have hanging out under these cars anyway? I didn't buy this car to spend my evenings and weekends working on it.

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    Dick Landy would like to have a word with you... from the grrrrraaaaaave! The girl in the middle of the video is pretty good too. Cannot imagine trying to impress a girl these days with your sweet paddle shifting ability... assuming she even looks up from her phone. LOL.

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    https://www.dodge.com/assets/pdf/brochure/2016challenger.pdf The most powerful and fastest muscle car. Ever.[2]The statement is bold and the numbers behind it robust enough to support it: 707 horsepower, 650 lb-ft of torque, a bewildering quarter-mile time* of 10.8 seconds and...

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    Automatic transmission do not equal autonomous driving cars. That lump in the driver's seat still has a huge role to play and is controlled by the lump between their ears.

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    No one is questioning @Speedy! or his accomplishments. I am calling out all the other nut swingers who haven't accomplished jack shit and are claiming supremacy simply because they checked the A8 box. You call it hostility, I am just clearing the air of this ripe stench of manure for those who...

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    Then how can any HC owner claim outright A8 supremacy, if despite the technical achievements, they themselves are the limiting factor in a race? Unfortunately I wasn't going to struggle to watch a video in an NHL arena when I was busy watching pro hockey with my oldest kid. Priorities. Sorry...

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    Reading is hard. No, I am not joking. Park the fucking conjecture and anecdotal bullshit and prove it or it didn't happen. The mechanical and technical advantages of the A8 or any automatic transmission aren't lost on me. All of my other toys are auto. What is also apparent to me is the...

    Jacking up a Challenger from the front with a floor jack

    If it isn't designated as a load bearing member (meaning it is reinforced to support the load without collapsing) then I would avoid it. However, if the hole in question is the one circled below then it may be workable. It just looks like a PITA in my HC to access, requiring you to pull out...

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    Not that this thread was originally intended to be a pissing contest... I challenge the vocal majority to produce proof their personal stock automatic car is quicker/faster than a stock stick car. Don't just sit behind your screen nutswingingly and appropriating a few other people's...

    Man these wheels are big....

    Could have been damaged anywhere along the way from the manufacturer, to the upfitter, to the lot. Seems circumstantial.

    AGE (http://www.autogear.net/motorsports) makes an awesome transmission they call the M23. https://midwestmuncie.com/product/super-duty-m23/ https://www.hotrod.com/articles/inside-n-series-m23-transmission-auto-gear-engineering/ I was going to put one in my MCSS before I got the M6 HC...

    Man these wheels are big....

    Seems the Demon and 1320 aren't the only cars getting knurled wheels from the factory. Very interesting.

    Manual Transmissions Are The Best!

    That's just it: You aren't just manipulating the shifter or the clutch - but everything on either end of that transmission too. Throttle. Suspension. Tires. Total control. Complete responsibility. It is even better if you are good at it - LOL.
