I mean not a Z but same tranny. and with ANY boost build regardless of which transmission you have yes supporting mods are part of it.

again your argument falls back to money and how much you need 3 pedals. that's about it.

it's been the only comeback the MT side has had and you all don't have much.

You are sure grasping at straws here. Ooops sorry, I left out the G And wow... 20 more ft-lbs than the next closest. That doesn't change $hit. The AT sucks a$$ for power. It doesn't do anything else well enough to make up for that. The MT guys are all running 350ft-lbs or more. And many of them are running 500-550 ft-lbs.

What do you mean money? Or pedals? Those have nothing to do with the fact that the MT is stronger and more powerful. And the AT sucks

AT sucks but yet has the best 1/4 mile time

I highly doubt a stock MT will hold 500ft/lbs+ for very long until it was gone.

so you have to spend money. spend same money give or take and the AT is the same strength. not a hard concept to grasp lol

My 7AT has only seen road courses, it's never been to a drag strip.

They just run more consistent times because you don't have to do anything except press down the gas pedal

again, just because it can be a 100% fully auto transmission it can still be (and should) be shifted %100 manually....minus a clutch pedal.

Which is a hell of a lot easier to do without the clutch peddle. The car does all the work for you. Its just gay man, admit it already.

Exactly. They might not want to admit it, but people seem to choose the AT because the can't or don't want to use a clutch pedal. I also don't buy the idea that a stick is a pain in traffic. I sit in Chicago traffic all the time and I actually prefer the stick because it gives me something to do. Most of the time I'm neutral in stop and go traffic anyway.

My brother in law is gay and has a M3 that's a MT, I could introduce you? He's a car guy (only as an accessory) , likes clutches and playing with sticks so you have some things in common?
