OK Ok, back to the subject. I think girls like to watch as I go thru the gears. Then they say things like "oh that's how you shift" followed by "can I play with your stick?" and by then you should know my reply....Yeahh baby
On automatic models there's not much of talking (AKA foreplay) since there's not much to ask for. Just a lever that stays in a static position.

But deep down inside you know that you with one shift (from P to D) and you are a done deal. At least I can keep going and going since I can go 1,2,3,4,5,6 and back down 5,4,3,2,1 and back up 1,2,3,4,5,6 and back down 5,4,3,2,1.
I can do this all day long. Cheers

Let's not get carried away. You go harder...it goes kaboom. Somewhere around 400ft-lbs

Hey, I'm an old man and I would never own an automatic. I want to know how come you young AT guys don't want to use both feet. Uncoordinated?

not at all. very coordinated with both my hands and feet. the AT is a much better transmission, plus faster, easier to shift during track/racing and can keep both hands on the wheel soooo it's safer as well.

MT are fun sometimes but why settle for sub-par performance to just try and sound cool with "AT's are for homos and pansies. real men drive MT"

that's like saying let's use this abacus rather than this graphing calculator.

Sub par performance? with that

The MT is just as good at the AT minus a few hydraulic issues that are easily remedied. The AT is slightly better in some aspects, and the MT is better in some aspects. AT has imperceptibly quicker shifts in stock form; MT can hold way more power in stock form.

Terrible analogy I would say it's more like comparing a plain jane calculator (simple - MT) to a graphing calculator (more technologically complex - AT) when all you're doing is addition/subtraction. The both do exactly what you need them to do just fine. The graphing calculator might be slightly faster due to the internal components, but you won't notice anything significant.

the only aspect that the MT wins is the initial holding power of TQ over the AT. however any and everyone who goes over said power limit ends up changing to a bigger/stronger clutch regardless. soooo it's not really a strong argument unless you then go to compare prices. yes a MT can be upgraded for slightly less money. but that is due to the fact most places pretty much just build the AT to be good for 1000hp which costs a bit more.

and yes my analogy was meant to be the way it was lol obviously yours was literal and more accurate but that wasn't my end goal......I was just bashing
