RE: automatic vs manual
I don't know how you can buy a 300hp car and buy it in an auto...it just seems like a waste...no fun at all...
But I know some of you have problems with your legs and knees. but that's the only exception! [8D]

RE: automatic vs manual
Exactly what I was going to say. If you are asking this then you are performance oriented. Go manual or spend money on your auto. Throw a TC and a set of gears and you'll be in business.

not if the manual owner knows how to drive.... you still don't have nearly the launching capability or control that a manual car has. With a higher stall tc then you will own manuals, but a manual will always have you on the launch if you dont have a tc.

This does not mean they are slower than the manuals. You put a CAI and tune on the auto and it will be right there with a CAI and tuned manual usually.

Not to upset anyone or anything, but I think if you're not an avid drag racing enthusiast, then it completely defeats the point of owning a GT if you get one with an auto. Manual all the way IMO...
