[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

[D.Stillwell]

^^ lol

I'll just say this, regardless of how good the autos are nowadays...Every single car purist always picks manual...even Porsche (which you mentioned) said they will keep offering cars with manual only for the true enthusiast drivers out there...

Only thing an auto might be better for is SLIGHTLY faster straight line acceleration...nothing else, and it takes no skill to mash the gas pedal or push a paddle to shift..

I say that owning a 4AT Maxima with TransGo shift kit, so I'm not hating.

It's kind of like the dudes driving AWD Subie STI's thinking they can drive good and handle...but get into a proper RWD car and crash. And also get taken by any Z with proper driver in both straight line or esp. in the twisties.
