Awesome call, but you have to be a manual person to understand that.
Personally if i wanted to go consistantly quick i would go auto.
But i dont feel as if i have as much control of the car being auto and love my clutch so manual it is.

Yeah, but street racing's bad.
I'd love a 500rwkw manual VLT. lol
That would a handful, going up the Foreshore, on a Sunday arvo.
Meh I love having a clutch. I don't drag race, or worry about driving in heavy traffic, so Autos can get f***ed. hehehehehe

they are good to be lazy and concentrate on driving, but boring and if like most auto boxes, tired and dont shift into gear soon enough for cornering etc
can na stock autos be stalled without killing it, and what rpm?
having said that autos do like the boost going to second they pull like...
HAHA autos are good for concerntrating on your drivning but boring?
I have found myself dozing off and losing concerntration almost everytime i drive an auto.
Manuals keep you much more alert and in control.

Yep.
You have to multitask in a Manual, but do f*** all in a Auto, other than Steer, Brake and Accelerate. Like that takes much concerntration.
I don't hate all Autos, but I seriously can't stand them half the time.

20-04-07, 17:28 GMT+10#70 but after a while, it's not to much of a problem to drive an manual, sure you use both hands for differnt things an have 3 peddels but it's not like you have to sit there and think everytime you got to change gears or something.
