I wonder how many 6MT drivers know that the 7AT comes with a secret turbo installed...

Happy Friday!

I knew that. But I also knew that the AT can't handle the torque, so they had to dial everything back. In the end the AT was at the same power levels as the MT

Since I have nothing better to say.....I would say that AT is a good deal when you have to scratch your testicles while driving. If your "junk" is clean enough then manual is the way to go.

Manual so you can actually feel connected with your car, learn your car, and know more about it. With an auto a computer has to do all the downshifting and upshifting, in a manual you have to do it, rev match and everything or SRM, but point being it helps you learn your car. Learning your car can give better times and make you a better driver
