the MT isn't much stronger and that's after you pay to change the CSC that WILL fail.

and as for 2 I honestly 100% have more fun ripping through back roads, highways, etc.... with 2 hands on the wheels grabbing paddles. not only am I safer i'm also quicker in many ways.

The MT is a fucton stronger. In fact nobody has figured out what it takes to grenade one. The AT lets go at about 350wtq. Try again.

you misspelled "fraction".

no one has found it because anyone who boosts it puts a new clutch in to handle it.

We're talking about the transmission. The clutch is outside the transmission. Do we need to grab a diagram from how it works from you so you'll understand?

its still a main component that needs to be change to handle the additional power.

I'm not any less safe with a 6MT.

You don't change gears through a corner, that's a big no-no. Always two hands on the wheel when cornering.

(Unless you're drifting, then everything is thrown out the window)

You mean like that crappy flex plate that comes in your shitty AT? We can go back and forth one for one on all components "OUTSIDE" the transmission but if we compare just the transmission itself there is no comparison on the ability to hold power. MT >>> AT

still doesn't make it a better option. stock for stock it'll fail just the same with added power. might take a little more but it will fail.
