Forget about feel and take them to the strip. I know 5 guys that come down to the track here and the 2 autos consistently run 13.1 - 13.3 and the highest trap I've seen is 108mph from an auto but usually its a tad over 106mph. Highest trap for the manual was 104mph and yes we all know how to drive and have been dragging for quite some time.

the AT's might be faster on paper, i dont know and dont care, but why not learn to drive MT and not halfarse yourselves? it's one thing to be able to drive MT and yet choose AT vs not being able to drive MT and settling on a AT.

if you're going to settle on a car just get a toyataha
This I agree with.

Denial maybe? More like 0.2 - 0.4 sec. To any motorhead, like myself, that's a significant gap.
