You also forget that most of the people who steal cars also drive late 80's early 90's hondas, which were primarily manual... Quote:

2. Given 3. Gonna have to see what the AT's can handle after they've been effectively modded the same as manuals are with upgraded clutch/flywheels/etc. Though stock for stock, given. 4. Data to support this? 5. No clutch pedal either. So is the weight difference (flywheel only) really going to have a dramatic impact on a 3300lb car?

I can't downshift into 1st when in manual mode because I don't want my ears to bleed and I wouldn't want to break anyones windshield behind me with the sonic boom!

As for #3, you don't NEED an upgraded clutch/flywheel to deal with the extra power and if our flex plates are breaking with being NA, we're SCREWED going FI, oh and you'll for SURE need an upgraded valve body #4, a few people on the track have had the fluid overheat on a track, and they make AT coolers, so obviously that's an issue #5/1, the flywheel isn't the only issue, or the only reason as to why AT weighs more, there is much more complexity to the AT Again, I'm ALL for the 7AT on THIS car over the M6, I'm happy I got the auto, and I think it's more refined, but I DO understand why you'd want a M6

Note that the ECU learns your shift patterns, so after driving in M mode, it may feel a bit herky-jerky in regular auto afterwards. Not something to worry about, just an FYI. You can shift over to M while driving without hurting anything, and can even use the paddles to up or downshift while in auto mode -- it will temporarily go to M if you do that, then will revert to regular auto after a few seconds.
