Not hard to understand...it was a joke.

Moving on, come back in 20 or 30 years and then tell us how you feel about manuals in a daily driver (assuming we are still allowed individual vehicles that even have anything resembling performance at that point).

I'm old school. Sports cars, to be driven in manual. This is my personal opinion and I acknowledge others have theirs. However, you should drive a car that you own because it makes you smile when you are in it. If you are in an automatic with those paddle shifters and you enjoy it and it makes you smile when you drive it, then thats it for you. If you enjoy shifting the gears and feeling the car respond when you shift and having the control over it, go for the manual. Keep in mind for me my 370Z is not my everday commuter car. My commuter is a five speed manual and although I hate it when I'm in stop and go rush hour, I still enjoy the feeling when I drive a manual for my own personal reasons. In the end game, its what makes you enjoy getting into the car each time you drive.

lol kinda hard to getjokes on the internet
no harm done
dont get me wrong ill still drive an AT im not saying anything bad about it
ill defenitly not pass on a gt-r :D

I personally think that that comment is eclipsed by the fact that most dragsters are automatics. In fact, one of the fastest (because I'm not sure if the car still holds the record) drag cars in the world is Titan Motorsports' Toyota Supra and lo and behold it has a TH400 (if I'm not mistaken) automatic transmission right from the guts of a Buick GN.

Really? All the ones I've seen have that nice big shift handle???

Guessin thats they hydraulic brake?

True...I apparently forgot a :) which would have helped identify my intent!

You really are quite the moron, aren't you? :icon23:

This blasted thread is getting me all confused on what I should get...

Just drive them both at the dealer, and give them both a fair chance.

:iagree: They're both great cars!

How on earth would this thread make you decide? I dont even understand how its a hard choice. Most people know if they want a manual or an auto and if they dont, they drive them and then decide.

I am already torn between the two. I know the upsides and downsides to both transmissions. This thread is not making me decide...... This thread is causing the inner voices and 'camps' to battle within.

I have my reasons for wanting an MT, but I can counter them with reasons I want the AT. I keep reading the back and forth in this thread and neither voice within is silent; they are louder.

I hope that helps answer your question. If not, then I can explain it in no other way. Sorry.

Boys Boys the the bell rang and its time to go back to class put your insults away!

Let's take this one step at a time...Test drive both first :)

^ Who? Me?? Already done...

That is why I am so confused!!! Anyway, I am giving it til next year to sort it all out....

And Triple: I think I still have the warning bell before I MUST got to class!! = )
