Re: Benefits and Liabilities of Stick
Benefits -
Fun...the mechanical challenge of working with the clutch to get that "perfect graph" and seeing the results in ET reduction.
Fun...matting the gas and dumping the clutch is a kick in the pants.
Fun...hitting 3 shift points yanking on the lever.
Also if you break the trans, it's much easier to fix by yourself than an auto.
And the same clutch will work with any different engine combos, unlike a converter.
Plus no "Devil Juice" running down your armpit.
Liabilities -
It's a challenge to stage as consistently as an auto. Not impossible, but a challenge.
You can't use a pseudo delay box brake pressure switch to tune up your reaction time.
If you have friends that drive automatics, they get bored looking at your shoes sticking out from under the car.
