Who else hates the Badgering??
All AT drivers are missing the point. True enthusiasts appreciate the control that
a MT offers... stroking the warm metal stick back and forth...Bangin dat tyranny
like there is no tomorrow... slow down... oh yeah... i gonna pop my clutch........
i'm gonna pop my clutch... oh sh*t. LMAO.
j/k
Had to throw a MT joke in there for all AT bashing. Lighten up people. There are
more important things in life than MT and AT. I never seen one issue divide so
many people in this forum.

i cant stand when i see a nicely modded car, then it gets to the interior shots and i see a auto shifter i get immediatly turned off. There are a lot of people on this site who have nice cars, but they drive autos. Ugh.

SnakeBitten and DomZ....One of you is in NY and the other is in NJ, like myself. Since you guys are relatively close to one another.....Why don't we settle this on the track? 
Take it OFF the forum and onto the pavement, dangit!!
I'll be the one in the stands eating popcorn and having some beers!

Brilliant....We arent discussing you and me...I could suck at MT and everyone born is good at AT so you may beat me. All that proves is that you beat me. But at the end of the day, MT's will still be faster than standard AT's..

Snakebitten...I'm NOT in this argument with you or DomZ.
I'd just like to see the bickering end between the 2 of you...that's all.
And NO...I'm not REALLY serious about the 2 of you meeting on the track....It was REALLY just a joke, man.

Been driving for over 47 years using stick and auto. Got tired of stick and enjoy my auto Trans. now. The main thing is, I own one of the best rides today. End of discussion!
MT are last century. Auto is the new wave. Step into the future and take a ride with us.
Us auto guys can't help it you couldn't afford the few extra bucks to upgrade to auto. We won't hold it against you.
Most cars are moving to AT anyway. Another 5-10 years and all race cars will be AT.
One day it will be affordable and you can finally step into this century and quit driving like cavemen. Hell, even Fred Flinstone had an Auto, you NEVER saw him shift and he was foot powered for Pete's sake. Even he knew the advantages and pleasures of driving an Auto.
So, put down the old timey stick, step away from the clutch, turn on your favorite John Denver or Village People CD and enjoy the ride.

It's kinda strange to be turned on by a stick... Are you female?

Lots of Z owners also have electic starters ... what pure BS, crank starters are the way to go.
Some also have factory installed air conditioners ... show me a real racer with a speed robbing air conditioner!
It all boils down to the personal choice to want to dislike, badger, hate, or disrespect another person. American's are so cut throat that they can't wait to find a reason to put another guy down. Forget about race, religion, and sex ... let's pick on someone's choice of a transmission. American's can't wait to find out enough about another person quick enough to hate them or to find something that makes them feel more superior in some way.
Dang you drive an automatic transmission! Yeah and I carry an automatic rifle in the trunk too ... so what's it to ya' buddy? My daddy can beat your daddy up. Well my daddy bought me my Z with a manual transmission. Oh yeah well ....
I think this kind of stupid silly internal competition that often flares up here comes from not having any true self respect for themselves or others.

What a bunch of spoiled asses we are! - We drive one of, if not THE hotest cars on the road - and we're arguing about which tranny is better.
WTF - Go drive your Z and chill (which ever tranny you have).

doesnt the mt cost more that the at.....check me on this, but i think in dealer options online the 6mt adds cost.
5 gears vs 6! take your choice. i chose 6.

Little did Jack Nicholson know he was uttering the motto of the next generation when he said: "The Truth? YOU can handle the truth"....Notice how mag drivers always pan the auto version of a car and pine away for the mfg of said car to come out with a manual version?....Case in point all the high horse Benz models....Its a constant gripe with them eventhough the auto in those Benzes get the power down....And thats in a luxury car much less a true sportscar like the Z.....
If you bought an auto Z no need to hang your head in shame in public...Walk tall and proud. Wave your rainbow flag high...But when you get home you better get on your knees ask God for forgiveness for the grave sin you have commited....Just think...Even the smiley knows stick is the shyte..
