Default Automatic Vs Manual Transmission

Hey Guys,
Any suggestion whether automatic transmission is better or manual?

Quick Suggestion
Should I go for V6 premium edition or V8 Basic?
Please advice.

I have an auto because my wife can't drive stick. I would have prefered stick all the way. However, Since I absolutely love my car, I love the auto with it. It is convenient in bumper to bumper stuff. But I still think stick is cooler.

As far as the V8 or V6. Well that is up to you. As Afixer once said, YOU should make that call It was something like that anyway. I am happy as hell with my car. I love it so much. I wanted a GT up until tonight when I was cruising around with my new duals. Now I am just happy with what I have. It's up to you though really. Good luck, I am sure whatever decision you make will be the right one.

depends on what your goals for the car are man. i firmly believe that the 6 is a contender in the tuner world simply cause she has alot of what most tuner cars dont have. Torque. the 6 kicks ass and the 8 will be just as much fun. its really all up 2 you man. whatever you get though, get a 5 speed.

take it for what its worth, but my v6 manual traps just as high as a stock v8 auto here in arizona. I can occasionally even beat them. yes im not stockc, but even with modss, im under the cost of the gt.

Go with the stick, you won't be sorry

As for the GT vs. V6, I love my 4.0

I'd way rather have a nicely optioned V6 than a stripper GT

yep the 6 is just as fun but its up to you. heck i just spent 50 buck to fill up. as far as the auto. again if you dont sit in bumper to bumper and like to shift go stick. dont do it just to dump the clutch and do burnouts. heck i can do burnouts all day long and i have an auto. so basicly do you want the red pill or the blue one! its your choice
