I don't feel any more or less engaged and have owned manuals too, just got lazy I guess lmao....I do however think that the manual shouldn't be fazed out and in most cases it is more reliable and can handle power mods better. I don't mind my Z being auto, had everything I eas looking for at the mileage and price that I wanted to pay..but in any case I still feel long live the manual!!! Lol

I think those are honorable sentiments but we were not all teens in the early 2000s my Zbrother.

Some of us weren't even teens in the '80's.

Lmao...thats why I love this forum! Can have a fair debate without a bunch of hurt ******* lol. At the end of the day we all love cars...and I'll be honest you don't have to have a manual to just go to the track...most of the racing I've seen has honestly been on the street I hate to say. Take my dad for example, he prefers manual but won't hesitate to mash the gas on an auto..albiet a swift one hahahaha

I was surprised when I came on forum.
The big debate about manual an automatic.I grew up in a time when everyone drove sticks.I just assumed everyone could drive a manual.Drove truck for a lot of years.Non synchronized 15 speed transmission is a whole other ball game.I have a level10 automatic in my Z.Shifts fast.Have other cars with a stick.Manuals are fun to drive but automatics have overtaken them.
We will have another debate in future as people move from internal combustion engines to electric motors.

If anyone defines their masculinity by what transmission type they use (of all things on Earth), they should probably start playing some sports.
