Default automatic or manual?

so im still on the hunt for a gt/mach 1 and well i was just wondering is it more fun to drive a manual or an automatic? especially considering its a V8...im just curious cuz it seems like a pain in the a$$ to drive a manual cuz u can just lay back and enjoy the ride..any input?

IMO, manual is more fun to drive vs. an auto. Its not a PITA once you get used to it.

Go with the manual...Autos are fun at first but get boring...It's too much fun racing through the gears next to an automatic.

Fun Factor=Manual. You want consistent times at the track= auto with stall and TC.

Deff go with the manual!!

Automatics might be easy but once you get the manual down its so much better then an automatic

mines an automatic. I use it to drive to school and in heavy traffic im glad its an automatic. Shifting is a pita in bad traffic but if it wasnt a daily drive i would definantly get a manual car but i really didnt have a choice becuase my parents wouldnt let me get a manual car b/c they thought i would crash b/c it was to complicated
