Put up your hand if you are a manual transmission driver and care that a transmission that doesn't require you to touch it other than to shift from Park to Drive (lol) can shift 1/10th of a second faster than a human. Sounds like a whole lotta fun to me, NOT!

I love when manual drivers think that the AT owners only put the car in "D" and drive. then go on with comment like above about "falling asleep"



my car is never in "D", I make every shift, I shift more than manual drivers most likely, and I know that gearbox inside and out.

if the argument is engagement with the car go talk to the old guys who own a Z with a AT. that's about the only group it applies to. the argument is null and void. time to find another excuse MT boys.

I wasn't trying to be mean. I'm just old school manual. I went from automatics to manual and couldn't be happier. Everyone has their preference though

laugh? you're an idiot then.

AT cannot skip gears like a MT so when I downshift coming to stops I drop through each gear except never doing a 2-1 downshift. that isn't good for the AT.

so technically I do shift more than you and also when on the highway I have 1 more gear to go up into.

again a MT boy has failed.

There is way to much traffic here this time of year so I use the D in the street. I also use it at the end of cool down laps but never when I'm on the track having fun.

not personal just making sure the MT queers know the facts since none of you really do.

just go off of what you think you know and sound dumb.

ever notice the informed MT drivers say they like both and how good the AT is but personal choice they still went MT?

a. you have it backwards. I gave facts and the MT faithful got mad because they have nothing. well they have CSC failure but hey don't want to take any low blows.

b. queer isn't name calling unless it's referring to you blowing dudes. do you know what the definition of queer is my friend? if not here's a refresher




Definition of QUEER


1
a : worthless, counterfeit <queer money>

b : questionable, suspicious

2
a : differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal

b (1) : eccentric, unconventional (2) : mildly insane

c : absorbed or interested to an extreme or unreasonable degree : obsessed

d (1) often disparaging : homosexual (2) sometimes offensive : gay 4b



i'll go with thinking that the MT is better than the AT in a Z is queer (mildly insane)

or that you're statements against the AT are queer (questionable, suspicious of your knowledge about the Z)

good day sir.

again another fact for the AT side.



the fact that I just destroyed you with a dictionary definition rebuttal and all you can come back with is that I suck peep.......it's laughable at best.

for now

Pretty sure my next car is going to be a DCT flappy-paddle box.

I love my three pedals, but you just can't compete with the precision of a flappy-paddle box (at lest with a DCT).

That said, AT also never misses a shift.
