I did a drag race and found out that whenever i do the shifting "maunually", it's always slower then letting it shift by itself, is it normal ?
or am i doing something wrong?

i have the 03 touring Z and no mod at all.
and the best time i got is 14.5(reaction time is +- 1 sec) on 1/4 drag...hmm

( i got everything tuned off, A/C, radio, .. etc and no extra weight)

 

i believe that manual mode shifts .2 seconds faster then the normal way. someone brought it up a long time ago. i never ran any tests myself, but i think im going to try it.

 

Can you scan and post your more recent time slips? Thanks.

 

Manually shifting your car is ALWAYS faster, you just need to learn to shift after D mode would normally, search around in this forum for some of my posts.

 

thats a very impressive time for a stock 5at... the best i've seen thus far did you have different tires or tricks?

Yea, its the fastest stock 5AT by a decent amount. No tricks, got my shifts down and some good weather. Removed spare/jack/mat. Stock tires with like 18k on the rears.
