Which is Faster at Launching: Manual or Automatic Transmission?

[AnnaLee]

Theoretically, under the same objective conditions, a manual transmission car can launch faster than an automatic transmission car. The reasons are as follows: 1. Manual transmission offers more freedom. The connection in a manual gearbox is purely mechanical, without interference from electronic systems, whereas the connection in an automatic transmission car is controlled by electronic devices. Automatic transmissions are limited by the onboard computer and will automatically shift up, typically forcing a shift at 2000~3000 RPM. 2. Manual transmissions are lighter than automatic transmissions. 3. Manual transmissions have higher transmission efficiency, generally reaching over 90%, while automatic transmissions usually only achieve 70%-80% due to power loss from the torque converter.
