I had these two kids come up to me once. One in a honda civic (ricer) the other in an acura rsx that looked pretty clean to be honest. The kid with the civic was like "what the hell, why automatic?". Gave him my reasons and made him feel dumb while the other dude in the rsx was like.. nah that's cool man even the gtr is automatic.

I bought a 6MT but I usually don't give a flying **** what people think about my car, much less my transmission LOL. You spent 40 on a car for YOU. YOU make payments on the car. Why the hell do you care what other people think? They're not gonna make your payments. Not to mention most modern day super cars come in automatic now. Just enjoy your car bro. My last 3 cats were automatic and I didn't give a **** what anyone thought

4. if someone talking shit take the fun out of the car for you then maybe cars aren't really for you.

5. All super cars are now standard with a paddle shifted auto transmission. the MT is DEAD

6. all else fails go with Falcon's way of handling things. I've used versions of that before. works well lol



AT > MT in the Z. plain and simple.

God damnit. Beat me to it and worded it better than me.

I love my automatic. My erection lasting more than 4 hours from driving the Z prevents me from operating more than one stick at a time.

oh please don't flatter. I can do so much better but most MT guys aren't bright enough to understand technical and more advanced things......that's why they use out dated transmissions

Tell that to my clutch which lasted over 80k with boost since 19k miles.
The problem is the CSC which Nissan found the cheapest supplier and then said cut cost by 50% & they will buy.

I just noticed this sticky... lmao. So this is why AT vs manual threads finally slowed down after all these years.... FP got center stage on the AT. If you need extra guns FP? You know where to find me... Humpin' on a AMG GT-S

Everyone that has an automatic wants a manual. Guys on here just like to pretend that the automatic is better. You won't see any manual guys saying I wish I bought an automatic. Automatics aren't sports cars

Jesus, you just keep at it, huh?

This has become the dumbest thread on this forum. Think about what that really means. On a forum that counts Synolimit and Chii370 amongst its members, this is now officially the single dumbest thread. I award all of you no points, and may God have mercy on your souls.
