Why did you go with an Auto or Manual Transmission?

I guess it's a generational thing

I've got a new left knee and hip and got a Manual SS. Not enough power.

I bought a manual as thats what I wanted.

Besides I wanted a 400+ HP car with a manual as I see these things going out in my life time and wanted the joy of owning and driving one before that happened.

Will an automatic lay rubber when shifting?

When my brother was teaching me to drive stick, he yelled and screamed and I didn't enjoy those "lessons", so I said - the hell with this stick thing, I'm just going to drive cars with automatic transmission. Why complicate things?

In my experience, any “manual mode” in an automatic car performs poorly and sucks the soul out of the car just as much as putting the car in “D”.

Completely agree. The Auto in the Camaro requires a tranny tune to get it to shift properly using the tap shift. And after that you are still just pushing buttons... Not even remotely similar to driving a manual.

Explaining how the V6 of today is not at all like the I6 that was avlible in the Gen 1. How can you see that growth and improvement in the V6 yet talk about the A6 as if it sill the same A2-3 that was in the Gen 1.

You're right! After a tune it isn't anything like driving a manual......it's better.
