Lol! Well I agree about the auto part!

Isamu

I can't as the auto trans while weaker then the manual has proven itself to be quite potent

Well I cant say Ive ever missed a shift can you? I put over 100 miles a day on my Z a manual would get old fast as my last car did with a stick.

I'm sure it is, its just something about auto trans that to me personally is just boring. But to each his own!

If ur automatic, what is the point of saying that? You can't ever miss a shift if you're not even shifting! The hard work is already being done for you.
Manual is not for everyone, but neither is automatic.

Exactly

You do realize that when in the Manual mode, the 7AT operates just like a manual, sans clutch pedal. So you can sit there and just 'go' and never leave 1st gear the same way as if you were in a 6MT. There is just as much room for error in the 7AT as in the 6MT.

The same thing could be said for SynchroRev Matching on the 6MT, it's doing part of the job for you calculating the proper RPMs when you downshift, so unless you never ever turn it on, it's kind of a situation of arguing 6 to one, half a dozen to another...

True an Auto may not be following suit of the 'traditional old-school' mentality of Manual trans or , but as we've seen, M3, GT-R, Lambo's, Ferarri's, Porche's, are all equipping some variant of an "Auto" trans... And lest we forget, top fuel dragsters.

Hate or not, it is still just as fun in its own way. Sure in a MT you gun it, go, off gas, lurch forward, shift, on gas, snap back, and do this 4 or 5 more times...

But with the 7AT in either mode, you are On the gas, and you never have to take your foot off... it's just go... go... GO. Kind of like riding a jet fighter or a rocket ship. It's hit the 'On' button, and see how far you can push the limit till your balls fail you.

I'd really like to hear your side of taking the heart away? I'd like to think of it as adding more life.
