I have an Auto...
and I am NOT a girl... LOL...
This is my daily driver and I am stuck in a traffic jam every evening... I've done the manual thing and it got really boring after a couple of years of traffic jams.
I've had Auto's before, and know that it won't be long and there will be Transmission mods out there for us... Stall Converters.. Hard Gear Clutches, Electronic Shift Kit tuners.... even Paddle Controls. you would be quite surprised what can be done with an automatic.

Mffarrell... Mine will DEFINATELY smoke the tires... Don_W can melt his tires to the rims.
I get second geer quips out of mine all the time.. especially if I am taking off up a hill.
I have to be careful nailing it entering a major road from a side street or parking lot.. it will do a donunt on me without me wanting it to every time.
NO - I'm not saying I get the power to the wheels like a Manual can.. but... there is PLENTY of power getting there none the less.

You guys with the auto., can you smoke the tires? How is the acceleration when you stomp on it? I would think that the std. would have more ump.

This was with the stock 3.31 gears: Burnout Video
The manual may not have as much drive train loss, but then again, I never miss a shift, either.

I get a little scratch just from nailing the go-go pedal. Only mods so far are the Bassani axle-backs and I removed the vapor trap.
