"just learn how to drive a stick"
Some of us drive in the city most of the time, and a stick is just a pain in the @$$ in city traffic. Sticks are fun when going fast and on the track, but not everyone can do those things often enough to warrent a manual tranny.
I think the answer to the 0-60 question is "around 6 seconds" or "fast enough." I'm not sure that most people can tell the difference between 5.6 seconds or 6.0 seconds.

Why do you think that people that have AT's can't drive a stick?
I chose the AT over the MT because driving a MT in San Francisco hills or in Bay Area traffic just isn't fun. I'm sure other people have other reasons for not owning a MT. I like the MT but I chose the AT. If you don't like the AT that is fine. State your opinion but you don't have to put down other's that have a different preference.As far as times for the AT they can be all over the place, also. They are comparable to the MT times. AT is maybe 0.1 sec slower if the MT driver shifted perfectly.

Ok, back on subject...who cares about 0-60, they are pretty darn close in the 1/4 mile.

Try .3 to .4 seconds slower to 60.
And to whoever asked, YES you CAN feel the difference between 5.6 and 6.0 to 60mph. Sticking with my stick

For what it's worth, I have a 350 Roadster Touring model with automatic and I want up against a coupe with MT at ATCO last month with the following results:
Me: 1/8mi 9.533 sec @74.11 MPH
1/4mi 14.774 sec @ 93.09 MPH
Him: 1/8mi 9.389 sec @72.47 MPH
1/4mi 14.910 sec @ 88.76 MPH
He claimed he missed 3rd gear

I bought an auto after driving a stick since I was 16. 2hrs of traffic a day will change your attitude when it comes to driving an auto. Never thought I would do it, but I guess Im getting older... A whole 23. I want to relax more in my car than I used to. I love the auto. Its very responsive and when you turn TCS off you can do pretty much anything.

Yes, it was the first time for both of us. Mine is stock, and I believe his was too.
