Well it's not like the manual isn't fun or anything it's just not for me anymore after driving the auto. I've been shifting these kind of cars through a manual transmission for over 20 years and the autos are just out of control now. This tran shifts so good and so hard that it's like identically driving a manual without doing the work. I also love the paddles. There a half second or so off sometimes but they are more then adequate.
I got the same exact mods in this car that I had in my manual, intake, injectors, plugs, 10 percent lower, and tune. This car with the auto and these mods seems like a straight race car. Where as the manual was fast no doubt but not near in the same league.
Shifting is a thing of the past and through the next years you'll see them being phased out more and more. Ferrari and Porche are already doing it.
Bottom line is I've owned many awesome cars in the last twenty years or so and this by far is my favorite.
Hope that helps man...
And hopefully we didn't hijack the thread to much...
