Shifting is ****in sexy, having a car drive for you is not....auto trans are not meant for sports cars but for luxury cars, its ok if your a girl though, most are going for appeal than pure racing. But yes it does get frustrating in stalled traffic but then again everyone has their own opinion and yeah its worth it to me to shift and have total control of my car

Girls and "Girly Guys" drive AT's
Guys and "Real Men" drive MT's.
How's that for stimulating a discussion?
Go at it whoever wants to...
Very stupid discussion that is done way too many times...

Normally I don't waste this much time on a teenager, but you are kind of entertaining.

My only words in that post were: Just a little news for you. This is the new Skyline.
The reality is that hot cars are going to automatic LIKE trannies. I like 6MT's, I just can't commute with one.

One of the other "educated" comments "manumatic tiptonic tranny" What the hell is that? The 5AT just has a manual mode, but it is an auto.
BTW I don't miss shifts when I race.

People have their own personal reasons why they decided on a 6MT or 5AT and I respect that, but it's really stupid for some people to justify their purchase of a 5AT by comparing it to advanced "autos" in higher end sports cars.
I DD my 6MT in probably one of the toughest regions in this country, and I don't ***** about how hard it is.

The reality is that fast cars are going to an auto like tranny. Like it or not that is what is happening. I like early flathead ford motors too, but that isn't what people are using to race with these days. They won't be racing floor shift MT's either.
