Got the car as a present but I have to pay for gas, insurance, and any maintanance costs. I bought my first car and it turned into a money pit so my dad felt bad about that and he got me this.

My "30-mile-each-way-traffic-from-hell-in-both-directions-daily-commute" makes me glad to have my auto tranny. If I ever even get to make the speed limit I am a happy camper. I guess I would have the biggest right forearm and left calf in Charlotte if I had the manual tranny! Geez that's a lot of shifts every day.

You can now shut up. I ran 13.2@104 with my manual. All I have done is exhaust and a tune. I saw a certain SOMONE who seems to think the auto is just as fast. He's running 4.10 gears, intake/exhaust, tune, and some other mods and he's only running 13.6 with his auto. Check and mate, stick>auto. And don't even try to say I'm some pro driver. I'm a 17 year old kid who is a rookie at the track.

Finally!!! Now I can get some sleep at night. This great debate has caused me more sleepless nights than "The Big Bang Theory"[sm=happy046.gif]
Thanks Shifty

Quote from Motor Trend November 2004:
"What would the manual tras GT be good for? Estimates of automatic to stick shift conversion factors vary, but the autos close 1-2-3 gearing keeps the engine boiling, so the differance may not be as much as you might think. Its safe to say the self-shifting GT is a sub 5 second runner, likely in the 4.8 or 4.9 second range" MT 11/04 p.44
so either you are just a better driver or your 13.2 is BS. If you had the auto you would probably be around 13 flat maybe even 12.9.

Just so you know, real stick drivers don't care. It's the people who CAN drive stick but don't love it that always say "I drive in too much traffic for a manual". Trust me, myself and I'm sure a lot of other manual lovers just plain love it. Driving in very heavy traffic with a stick is work, no doubt about it. But just one nice run through a cool road on the weekend makes up for commuting hell during the week.
