it depends on who's driving

if a good driver drive both cars who wins>

I personally would say the 7AT. Autos are not what they used to be.

7at if your granny shifting and not double clutching like u should :driving:

I think 7 speed but in the long run 6 speed has more potential. I had both auto and manual zs . Liked em both.

Auto

7AT FTW, 6MT is for people who can't drive fast :stirthepot:

i dont even need my car to win.

ibtl

What if Vin Diesel is driving? :rolleyes:

That would be cool if they had a launch control in the 7AT.

What in the world is double clutching? I thought that crap came from the fast and the furious which should be left behind with the movie years ago.
