traffic sucks in any transmission. you're just less likely to wind up rear ending someone in a MT because you decided to take a bite of the sandwich you were eating and your car drove itself into the next car because you took your foot of the brake.

There seems to be a trend of people wanting to trade their Auto Z's for 6spd MT after a short while, and all for the sake of driving experience.... Just saying

if you have the cash, trade it in and get a new one.

When was the last time there was a thread where a person wanted to trade from a MT to an AT? :stirthepot:

Yeah, to cure the boredom of 7AT, why not take up a hobby to make driving more exciting? Something to distract that other hand, like smoking, doing your makeup, reading a map/newspaper, drinking piping hot coffee?
Cannot agree with this more! I wish more people drove manual rather than the other distractions that cause accidents on a daily basis. I can't even count how many times I've almost been rear-ended by women applying makeup in the mirror or countless other things.

TBH I don't find driving in heavy traffic any more burdensome in my manual 370z compared to my auto bmw x5. It's the difference of one extra pedal....Just my opinion though.

It was a bit tongue-in-cheek. I've seen manual drivers who drive like that. Regardless of transmission or vehicle type, too many people are paying attn to everything BUT the road.

You can have fun and drive an automatic. And it can be bothersome to be in 2hrs of traffic in a MT, like I was last week. Regardless, people should be paying attn to the road.

Yea, I get what you're saying. I'm not one to argue AT vs MT. Fun factor is based on the drivers perception not the type of transmission. But I do feel people would pay more attention to driving conditions if they drove a MT in some respects.

I agree generally. There are always exceptions to that rule, but the act of driving with a clutch makes you more actively engaged in what you're doing.

It's enough for me. But I guess simple things for simple minds...

For me keep it simple also. It's hard enough watching out for the other nuts on the road.

I do wish I had chosen the 6MT over the 7AT at times but my daily commute in the 110 and 405 does a damn fine job at reminding why I chose the 7AT in the first place.

NYBladeZ 06-07-2010 09:14 PM
^^hehe funny guy. To each their own, the AT guys will come in here and say how they are consistently faster, however AT guys before you say that remember, the car is consistently faster, whether you or your mom be the driver, I can't say the same for my MT.

I was talking to the guy that installed the viper alarm in my car and he has a few corvettes and a trans am and some other cars that he races. The corvette that he drag raced (With 30k in mods) was an automatic. its a 10 second car. He does mostly road course racing one his other vette's (manual transmission) because after a while, he realized that there was no skill involved in what he was doing. It was mashing the accelerator and your along for the ride. With auto's and drag racing, the man with the most money put into his car will win, where is the fun in that?

Umm, drag racing itself is all about how much money you can put down on the car.

And what's with 6MT owners here thinking 7AT owners don't know how to drive stick?
