look at high end cars, like the me-412. it had a 'manually shifted automatic transmission'. you know what that means?
It's called a sequential transmission. It's not an auto, and it's not a stick. A sequential doesn't use torque converters or clutches. From what I've read about them they use a dog box. And the cost for one of them is around the price a SRT-4.



eh... didn't know that.

still illustrates my point.



regardless.... some mod really oughta lock this thread, it's been said a few times now:


It's all opinion. no system is better than another 100% of the time. arguments are pointless.

Yes, it's all preference. Forget the drama though (It's not that serious)[&:].

I like the manual transmissions because I have more control of my car. I also like to hear my exhaust when I shift down. I like the gargling.

yeah manuals are more fun, but I'm a true American and look for the easiest way to do everything, which is automatic.

Yes; a lot of people are just lazy (like yourself).

I don't understand when people get exotic cars like Ferrari's with automatic transmissions though (especially when it's not your every day car anyway). Those cars are supposed to be for fun. U shouldn't be lazy when u drive those cars. They have aftermarket options for Vipers to change the trans to auto too[:'(].

I want a shifter like the pro drag guys have, forward back forward back forward and the race is over

Oh and I like bolth, but I would have to go with a 5spd vs an auto.
