My only complaint about the Saleen auto is that you're forced to take a 3.31 rear end, as opposed to the 3.55 ratio that's standard with the manual. The optional 3.73 ratio is not available with the auto...

I know how to drive stick, but I special-ordered automatic because I drive her every day. I would never trade the automatic, but I have to admit, I find my hand resting on the shifter almost constantly while I'm driving. It's like my hand can't help itself from trying to shift! I would love to have the option --- wouldn't that be cool to have a true manual (not like Audi triptronic) that you could shift into automatic when you felt like it?

Yeah, that's actually what the DSG system is. Paddle shifters and can go in automatic or manual mode. And the shifts are lighting fast. Very sweat. Not sure if the S7 has a system like that or not, but at 500k, it should offer it.

My hubby's new toy is an Audi Q7 (sport ute). For the first three weeks, he had to shift it into overdrive on the highway manually with the paddles.The shifting is still not quiteright, but they're working on it at the dealership.... Nobody there can figure out the codes. [sm=smiley29.gif]Anyway, while the triptronic is slick, it's just not as satisfying as a clutch.
Hey, Ford/Saleen,add this to a wish list... the thrill of a true stick shift - with an automatic switch you can push when you're going through the KFC drive-thru.
