Re: pspice software help

Hello Jim,


Stick-shift vehicles are fun if you're drag-racing, but worthless in
snail-pace freeway traffic.


Nah. They are also more fuel-efficient.


Nonsense. Modern day automatic transmissions don't use the always-on
"slush coupler" of years gone bye.


Can't be nonsense. Whenever I looked at fuel efficiency claims (yes, even by the mfgs) there was a marked drop for the automatic version.

Does your car crawl when you release the brake? If so that means it is already burning more fuel per minute than mine while waiting at a traffic light. The only way to get around this is to shift to N where most modern cars reduce the idle throttle level so the RPM stays the same as if it was in D. Older ones didn't even do that.


Yesterday's trip to and from a client was a nightmare. A slow crawl almost all the way. I could leave it in 2nd most of the time :-(



The Q45 has a manual-shift section in the "PRNDxxx" pattern that
allows clutchless/clickless manual shifting... 5-speeds, claimed for
mountain driving or slippery surfaces... seems perfect for drag-racing
to me ;-)


Not being able to completely bypass the clutch/slippage in the automatic transmission can cost you tens of milliseconds versus the competition. Also, the flames coming off the exhaust could be less impressive for the spectators :-)


Want to drag ?:-) I'll beat you ;-)


Not with my car. Not enough horses there. But we have a neighbor who would take you up on that if enough $$ is bet. He is a professional drag racer. 40ft aluminum toy hauler and the whole works.
