MannerSaurus 10/10/18 4:30:51 PM #68:	You ever notice that Automatic and Manual cars of the same exact year/make/model/trim, the Automatic has a larger gap in BHP to WHP? (How much Horse Power the engine is making and then how much of that power is actually making it to the street with your drive wheels)?* Do you know why that is? BECAUSE THERE IS MORE POWER LOSS THROUGH THE FLUIDS AND GEARS IN AN AUTOMATIC BECAUSE THAT'S HOW PHYSICS WORKS. And that same science is why you have worse fuel economy, even if only slightly. And then, again, optimal gear and power band usage if you're a skilled driver. In modern cars, Automatic variants are actually faster on a drag strip sometimes now, because Horse Power isn't everything. Modern Automatics have much more aggressive gearing than they used to, and very quick shifts making them ideal for straight-line racing. But they are* slightly worse fuel economy and lower wheel HP. --- Hoppe hoppe Reiter, und kein Engel steigt herab mein Herz schlagt nicht mehr weiter, NUR DER REGEN WEINT AM GRAB <cite>MannerSaurus posted [p:910305208] in Do you hav...
