First, learn to spell & type properly.

Then move on to cars.

only one of my friends harps on me for getting an AT, and he drives a tiberon, so I can easily just laugh at him.

we got the auto knowing it was *slightly* slower then the MT.. oh well! some people find driving too boring without a clutch to play with

when they make a transmission that allows you to stick shift or stick it into drive in the same car. none of this paddle shifting crap.

Real data when we race from a roll my 6 speed racing my buddies Auto he pulls me until I shift to 3rd and then I pull him a half a car length but I can't shake him. If we race standing still if I mess up and miss a gear he smokes me through the quarter. If we both get a good start he gets a jump then I beat him by a half a car.

It's so close the difference in minimum unlike it is for the RX-8 the 6 spd is the only way to go, the auto is a slug. But the auto Z will smoke a 6spd RX-8 with realativity ease.

Seen a Nitrous Z auto that was bad to the bone 0-60 4.7 seconds!!!!

You obviously are not smart enough to use the SEARCH

If you did, you would know why members consider the AT vs MT thread a fail topic and you would also have found out that I know quite a bit about transmissions and sort of a forum expert.
So, calling me stupid when it comes to transmissions only makes you look bad especially when you can't back up or support your previous statement.

You are a prime example of why this type of thread turns into a fail more often than not.

Actually Aggro Al is probably one of the most knowledgeable people here. Read some of his replies to other 5at threads and before you make such ignorant statements, you might just make yourself look...stupid

I can't believe I used my first post on this...

No one has ever compared the manual to the automatic, This should be exciting.
