DOH!

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

My paddle shifters helped increase my Angry Birds score quite a bit.

You nailed it....but the AT drives will never learn that even if they wanted to because they don't even know what you are talking about............but real drivers do

the transmission you have has nothing to do with being a "real driver".

idiots will say this, nothing more.

also for a guy with the screen name "FERRARI" you got balls talking about AT drivers. when was the last time a Ferrari came with an actual manual transmission aside from a very expensive special edition?

Dragon_Ball_Z · 03-11-2015, 02:13 PM

I mean there are real drivers that drive an automatic too, I never said they couldn't drive. To think auto drivers can't drive is stupidity. Wasn't my intended point earlier

At Homestead Miami Speedway 10 days ago the fastest guy in my group was in a new Porsche GT3 , you can't get them in manual. The manual transmission is going to just be part of history soon. 10 years ago I would have never considered buying a sports car with a auto but now I may never buy another one that isn't auto.

Looks like I'll be buying used cars. I don't want my car shifting for me any more than I want it steering for me. Pretty soon that will be reality as well.

Tadpole · 03-11-2015, 05:24 PM

Let's all just call them manualmatics so both sides are happy. Put a little stick and a fake 3rd pedal for the ones who feel the need and call it a day

Dragon_Ball_Z · 03-11-2015, 05:26 PM

Fake 3rd? Pretty functional

I don't easily call people stupid but you're really pushing it.
