What the hell does that have to do with anything? And why does this always turn into a "well the 7AT is faster" thread? We all know this because the auto can shift faster than a human can shift a manual, got it. As can be seen by the auto G vs. 6mt Z supercharger build by Stillen, the auto suffered major drivetrain loss and made significantly less power at higher pressure, if you plan on doing a high hp build in the future, you'll get less power and most likely have transmission problems with an automatic, its just common sense. I'm a fan of both, however, lets not give this guy biased info based on the transmission we all own, give it to the guy straight. I say this, if you cant handle driving a manual in stop and go traffic, get an auto. If you wanna carve some canyons and feel completely in control and connected with the car in the twisties, get the manual.
