I dont know your age, but I am assuming your young, I personally would go for the auto, I dont think you will regret it. You will still have the tap shift to play with, although its not exactly the same as a manual experience. Top speed will be around 180+mph but will be electronically limited. Look out for aftermarket chip delimiters which will remove the governor but ensure you get high rated tires.

Performance wise, not much in it its a drivers race however, they are saying that the auto comes out just a whisker ahead because of the reaction times with the manual. However, we shall see the test reviews on that one.

GOODLUCK!! And dont be a stranger... lets hear from you more!
O RLY? Read the fine print.

Really? I missed where it said that the top speed was limited to 180 MPH. Can you point that out to me please?

no, the guy was saying that the physics of the car will allow a top speed of 180+ however, with the speed rating on the tires, the car will be limited to 155
