In an auto you're just not cutting it...and losing....and it still might be a party, but you're sitting at the little kids table.
Sounds nice......do you have vids of you launching that beast. Maybe a nice run down the track......just so I know you can run your car. Let's hear you go weeee through the traps. If you do run your car then props to you.....if you don't....well now it's really a party.

When I traded in my 2012 SS M6 for my 2013 ZL1 M6 I told my hubby the only "must haves" were a Manual gear box, that crappy cloth/material stuff they cover the wheel and stick with (lord only knows where my hubby's grubby mitts have been) and the carbon fiber hood insert.

Top of my must try list was: Launch followed by the No Lift Shifting!
Results: FUN FUN FUN!!!

You just keep driving your tuned and geared automatic up and down the track and making videos to impress yourself and pat yourself on the back with your awesome driving skills. I'm comfortable with the size of my.....gear shift lever.

Why don't you post a video showing you winning against every manual you've ever raced? That's the party you're throwing.

Thanks for the answer. Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.....well maybe I did. Should I trade my lowly auto for a manual and drive up and down the track? You talk a good game....to bad your sitting on the bench. Still would like to see your car move out down the track.......you must have something. Just to clarify I've been driving for 30 years and know my way around a manual very well. So don't give me the skill involved in driving bullshit either.

Of course you meant to ruffle feathers....what the hell do think we were doing here? The faster automatic vs the more fun manual argument is going to be around for a long long time.

Tomorrow some piss ant is going to start another idiotic thread about manual vs auto and we're going to say stupid shit to show how dumb these threads really are and move on. The admins should really do a block where anyone who tries to start a thread using the word combination of auto and manual and every synonym possible. I cringe every time I see one. LOL

Every, and I mean EVERY person on this forum knows every reason why each of us has an auto or a manual.

Here they are.

Manuals: more fun, LS3, sports car is supposed to be a manual, couldn't find an auto in the color I wanted, wife made fun of me blah blah blah

Autos: they're faster, couldn't find a manual on the lot or in the color I wanted etc, daily driving a manual sucks, (true dat), cant drive a stick, bad knees, love the paddles, blah blah blah.

I'm sitting around doing laundry today and got nothing else to do but type this crap blah blah blah....

Damn people DRIVE WHAT YOU LOVE, AND LOVE WHAT YOU DRIVE.

What??????

I thought you boys changed it to "I'm happy with the size of my gear shift". I thought you two would whip'em out next to see who's really is bigger.

LMAO

Boys will be boys!

Shifting gears is not hard. Do I miss driving stick? - every now and then. But it's gets tiring. Next car I'm looking at is a CTS V wagon.
