the auto can be just as fast,not everyone knows how to drive a stick so they cant launch.if anyone puts you down for driving an auto,call them out,this auto can kick some seroius ***,especially with a few mods.

I went from an auto to a stick.

Depends on your person preference.

For me, the fun factor increased 10 fold.
Same here, I love my manual! Even in traffic it's fun to hold 2nd gear and hear the popping of my aftermarket exhaust when I let off

My auto chirps the tires hard going into 2nd and 3rd to answer Black07gt's question (this is after the tune).

As far as auto vs manual, take your pick. As for me, this is the first auto car I've bought in years and its pretty fun. I also like that I can just cruise with it. I've had several "sports cars" with manuals, so I'm still quite enjoying the different feel to this car. Besides, this aint a sports car, its a muscle car... which to me just means pedal to the metal and hang on. If we were talking about a Corvette, I'd say manual all day long...

id say manual too i live in cincy, where there isnt flordia traffic, but theres plenty of rush hour traffic. This is my first car thats a stick too so i was nevous about that, but after a week of driving with it, you kinda forget u even have a stick and its just as natural as an automatic.

Lol funny thing is getting into autos now my left foot goes for the clutch and i get confused lol
