Yep. I agree with pretty much all of that. In my personal opinion, the chance to shift our own gears is just one step farther. For some people that part doesn't matter as much or maybe they prefer their autos. That's fine with me. I'm sure not trying to tell anyone they are wrong for what they like. I was just sharing my own thoughts.
I don't know what the heck you mean by electrics "government built." As much as I dislike Elon Musk, the guy is an anti-government oligarch.
What does "notably" mean? A measurable, repeatable result that makes a big enough difference that we would care about it. That's what I meant at least.
As I said, this was (and still is as far as I know), the common wisdom. I don't have access/time/money to test them myself.
After a quick search, I am surprised to see a number of sources quoting an old Car Craft article (that I would like to find..)citing actual measurements comparing various auto transmissions. I imagine that there are significant variables that would impact these results and I don't know how Car Craft did (or did not) try to control for those variables.
These numbers are from the article in Car Craft Magazine:
Powerglide_____18 hp
TH-350________36 hp
TH-400________44 hp
Ford_C-6______55-60 hp
Ford_C-4______28 hp
Ford_FMX______25 hp
Chrysler_A904__25 hp
Chrysler_727___45 hp[/QUI
I meant in general all the vehicles being built today are essentially built by government standards and regulations and yes I agree that Elon is not pro government.Yep.
