Auto = consistancy, auto makes for a boring drive to the track too. I would much rather have a manual. I for one like the control a manual gives me as opposed to an auto.

MANUAL FOREVER!!! ha i would never drive and automatic unless I was running crazy horsepower and couldn't shift fast enough. Love the control of a manual, makes driving fun.

I'd take a badass automatic any day.

It would be sweet to pick your nose and violate some cars at the same time.

If I were buying a luxury car to sit back and relax in then definately an auto, but for a "sports" car I want to be in control of my car. I want the car to shift when I want it to, not when some sensor tells it to. Theres nothing like the control of a manual trans. Unless you are ONLY taking the car to the track and running straight, then you might be better of with an automatic in some cases, but for the street hands down manual is the way to go.

GO WITH THE MANUAL...don't make a fatal mistake. Autos have been known to cause excessive bordem to drivers and i would take a manual any day. Plus there's nothing like taking a turn and popping the clutch and goin' sideways....i love it! I've personally converted my cousin and my buddy into manual transmission equipped cars after taking them for a ride in my car. Manual is the Shizznit.
