OK, manual users, if in an automatic, if you can simply keep the accelerator pedal down and only have to move a paddle to shift vs. letting off the throttle, push in the clutch, move the shift lever to another location and let the clutch back out, how can that possibly be faster?

Yes, yes, automatics have progressed enough to catch up to even the savviest of manual transmission users. You know what? I bought it with the 6-speed gearbox because I wanted to have it. I'm not getting paid to go around a track the fastest, so that "oh auto is faster anyway" has nothing on me.

So NYAH. lol

OK, I'll be the first to ask. Why are there more SyncroRevMatch answers then there are Manual transmission answers?

34 SRM to 30 Manual at the time I am writing this.
