i didnt say tiptronics wouldnt force upshifts at redlines you dumbass, try READING what i say - i said that this would occur AFTER the redline ie at the FUEL CUT.

lmao that is the funniest car related thing ive ever heard. what a load of shit. cars dont have 'firmware'. cars have ECU's, which can be reprogrammed.

haha nah just curious to see if anyone from bos was in any of my classes

anyone on here do these subjects?

fuel cut/limiters arent "physical features" of transmissions. i suggest you learn about how transmissions, both auto and manual, operate before you go making claims like this. the fact that youve been in the cars really doesnt mean much in terms of this discussion. the fact is, fuel cuts are...

it doesnt really surprise me that you dont understand what im saying. i drive manual cars because thats what you buy if youre interested in performance. try watching a few episodes of top gear and youll quickly realise that autos are perfectly capable of revving beyond the redline. there is a...

youd be correct in saying that as a result of going into sports mode, it is POSSIBLE that more fuel will be injected, however it is not a case of this always being so. as i explained before, the amount of fuel being injected is determined by throttle pressure (so even if youre not in sports...

you dont know what youre on about. even old cars have fuel cutoffs, whether theyre auto or manual so that you cant push beyond a certain point. this is usually 250-500rpm beyond the redline. i didnt say theyd go beyond it, i said theyd get to it, which is exactly what they do

by "in gear" i mean when the torque converter is engaged so that power is being transmitted to the wheels.

arg dont talk shit like that! sports mode doesnt "feed more fuel' into the car. id modifies the shift points for the transmission. the ecu controls the amount of fuel going in based on throttle position. if you dont know what youre talking about, then shutup!

im hoping you have a digital speedo...because if youre estimating 8km/h on a regular dash you are retarded.

all the reasoning suggested for autos being slower so far are wrong... the REAL reasons are as follows: they are heavier the have torque converters (the things that allow them to be stationary, and maintain engine revs...

i want to see a video of this

it really depends. the engine would be unlikely to die from overheating at these speeds because the volume of air moving across the engine would be quite large and thus things would be kept cool. if the engine was warmed up, and he has only done this sort of thing a few times then its perfectly...

btw back on topic, i cracked 30kmh once, but my fully sick body kit was flapping in the wind and it was only because i had my l33t RALLIART stickers and my massive gt wing that i was able to stay in control

yes. sustained high revs will damage the engine....however revving the shti out of it when the engine is cold is worse, not changing the oil is worse, etc etc and at the end of the day, even if you drive like a granny the car will still wear.

then shes an idiot

off topic...i see you went to baulkham hills high...do you know mitch bruzzese or chris neall?

go to kloster ford and ask the guy at the service desk, he sold his 93 ls with 420 000, thats the B series im talking about

join www.twincam.org and look at a 4age corolla. they are reliable and (for a small 4cyl) ok in terms of power and handling. they are good on fuel, easy to modify if you get more money and want more power, and cheap to buy
