test drive both. then make your decision. who give a ____ what other people think, you're the one that has to live with your choice and drive it everyday.
personally i chose the MT, wouldn't have it any other way. but in a different situation i could've gone the other way. again, you're decision, don't let others make it for you. my :twocents: |

but i see no reason why I should believe its quicker.. These cars are finicky to get off the line... your 12.8 was on street tires right ? What was your 60 ft? Outside of the initial jump I do not see how the auto should be any faster... and do you go through in 4th and at what RPM ? |
Yes it was on street tire's 19/ 35/ 275 bridgstones. The 60 ft was 1.964. the 1/8 th was 8.32 @ 86.36. I went throught the traps in 5th gear. The 1st to 2nd shift was really quick and so was 2nd to 3rd. I just love the paddle shifters. I launched at 1100 rpm. can not wait for the drag radials im hoping for 2200 rpm this time.
If you are free this summer bring your car to the Ontario Z Drag day at St thomas race way it just missed going 12.79's by .0009. Once the track lost traction the car is a nightmare to lauch and i was up to 2.06 to 2.30 60 ft times and the times were in the 12.95. to my terrible 13.45. It went up in smoke of the line. Let me know if your interested and i will email you the dates. |

Suck on this, bitches:
Lamborghini to drop manuals from their lineup Lamborghini has just shocked the motoring world and not by producing a shocking new supercar, but by announcing something that will make motoring purists cry rivers. The Italian supercar maker has announced that it will leave manual transmissions to the history books, just like Ferrari. According to Car and Driver, the decision was part of the company’s commitment to increasing the fuel economy of its models; something that Lamborghinis of the past, before the German influence, didn’t give a hoot about. In addition to scrapping the good old-fashioned manuals, Lambo says it plans to build ever-lighter exotics. Don’t expect to see any turbocharged Gallardos in the next few years, though. Most automakers around the world are using forced induction in order to curb fuel consumption and maintain power. Lamborghini feel otherwise, as they have no plans to add turbochargers to their engines. Instead, look for stop/start tech and cylinder deactivation to emerge over the next few years, as well as a mild-hybrid car. One wonders how much influence Audi is having on the Raging Bull.

Who thinks of fuel economy when they buy a lambo?...Seriously?
It wont have an impact on sales though. TBH I barely ever see a manual lambo or supercar of the likes. I'd say 99.9% of purist cannot afford supercars and stick with cars like ours or high/lower in the price range. |

Considering the worlds population is approaching 7 billion people, that would mean roughly 70million people would be able to afford lambo's So even if my numbers aren't scientific I think they make sense. |

You didn't say lambos, you said supercars, and many affordable cars are considered supercars these days. |
