Either am I.

Not looking to argue. All I'm saying is that the VSR Kit works nicely with 7AT.

And yes, your last statement is in fact correct.

Yes. I personally will mercilessly taunt you for the rest of your life. When I die, my ghost will haunt you with mocking laughter.

Looking forward

The real answer I think depends on how you modify it.

And no offense to anyone that buys AT, but I can't possibly imagine driving a car like this, with automatic transmission. It defeats the entire purpose of having fun with a car as powerful as this, lets not forget gear control. Just my 2 cents

I've driven other cars of equal or similar power in automatic transmission. Friends cars.

Certainly wasn't the same as Manual.

Last I checked you have full control over shifting gears with the 7AT...
