Manual VS Automatic

[muminiasty]

HEy guys ,

When comparing V6 auto to manual or 4 banger auto and manual how much better manuals actually are from autos accelerating wise?

What about 4 banger manual vs v6 auto?

[Kenny_McCormic]

Not much difference, the auto will hold gear longer and longer the farther you put your foot down.

V6 manuel > I4 auto of course.

I4 manuel will hold with a V6 auto during acceleration if i remember correctly. This is assuming 1MZ and 5S engines, of course. I believe I4 autos do 0-60 in the 12s, manuals in the 11s, V6 autos in the 9s and V6 manuals in the 8s. Don't quote me on that though.

V6 > I4

[muminiasty]

doesn't manual 5 gear box vs 4 gear auto help a lot?

[LynchburgCSI]

^ yes.

i think your right on the dot..i had a friend time me before (with his stop watch) and it took exactly 12 secs for my auto to reach 60. but then again it was a stop watch so it could have been more or less

I think the i4 auto does 0-60 in roughly 10.9. When I timed it, it was around 11.2 or so, but I don't know how accurate that is. My preference in order would be this: V6 manual, i4 manual, V6 automatic, i4 automatic.

the 92 SE V6 with a 5spd was quoted doing a 0-60 in 7.2 secs..far faster than the auto box 3VZ-FE and even faster than th eauto or manual 5S-FE CAmry's. i drive a 92 SE with a 3VZ-FE and a 5spd and i can tell you that the car really accelerates well. here's the road test on the SE:

same here. which is why i've owned 3/4 (the two v6's and the i4 manual)

thats with the higher final drive the SE's are supposed to have. the 5spd ES300's do it in 7.9

i'd guess completely stock. i've seen slightly modified ones on the stock ecu pull a 6 flat to 60 and 5.7 on PFC. The XRS i mean

[slpr1mz]

oh i didn't add when i ran at the track i was modified... and light... that was also my buddy's fist week in his car hence no launch... i lauched... lol at the track is where i got timed at.
