I've never owned an auto car (even with my non-sports cars), but the modern auto's have me considering one, as long as I have another vehicle I can row my own gears in.

That's what I do... I have my auto Civic for errands and traffic (and winters) and I enjoy not having to deal with shifting when I get caught in a big traffic jam.

Yeah, it's a boring, gutless little car but so is a Civic with a manual.:tiphat:

I have a 7at and the shifting (after Uprev) is on the money,down shifting going into the corners is fast and predictable,also the engine blips the rpm's up to match the gear you are shifting to.:tup:

A proper DCT?

I'd hit it.

Hmmm, I've never seen shifting a M/T as a task. I've always enjoyed it, regardless of the traffic.

:iagree: it's a must the difference is amazing. I even like the sound of downshifting

Coming to topic I had two cars before with dual clutch. First VW GTI and I loved it when test drove it back in 06. Second was EVO with SST it was a bit noisy as some people said though was quiet in VW. there is a limit of just 60-70whp on evo then gearbox can't handle it. It amazing driving a boosted with SST and no way anyone can shift manually that good but in the end it's more limited then our current 7AT

When I had evo I heard GTR and evo tranny is done by same company and both are outsourcing it

I guess that meets the one on the GT-R is really beefed up since I know people are running some ridiculous amount of power. Don't know if that's with the stock transmission though.

Obviously, he meant it in the sense she was missing her "correct" tits. :p

I don't know. I like the 6MT, it is what I have now. But would gladly by a proper DCT.
