The only reason the Manual are losing the race right now, is because the guys with the Sticks are out banging gears......they'll catch up later when they get home.
Then they'll just be bangin' something else. Those gear bangers. Always looking for something to bang.

Manual more work, but also more fun.

True the manual can be more fun than auto some of the time but they can be a pain in the A$$ most of the time.
I think Abe Lincoln said that didn't he?

This thread is great! lol Some of you guys are just ruthless against the autos. lol Its good reading.
Ill step up and be the first to admit; in one way I do regret not getting a manual. Manuals do put more power to the wheels off the show room floor. But, to be perfectly honest, Im too dang lazy to shift. LOL

Well said wingman75- you hit the nail right on the head..!
I drove manuals (mostly bimmers) for almost 35 years, but this Stang GTA rocks Big Time, and I never regretted my choice for a one second!

I don't know if it is representative of the entire nation, but at my local Ford dealer they had mostly autos when I went to buy. It was like a three to one ratio auto to manual.
I'm not in love with the Tremec 3650, but I'm still glad I went with the manual. I have an auto in my other car, so this way I get to enjoy boy driving styles.

Another auto or manual thread, quick, someone start up a "which CAI intake is best?" thread!!! Or better yet, a V6 vs. GT thread, no no, a poser/not a poser thread!
5 spd all the way!
Or another synthetic vs. non-synth oil thread.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was that black-and-white? I love my manual, but if I lived back in the city I'd have SERIOUSLY considered an auto... But the key word here is CONSIDERED... Geez, how I love to DRIVE the manual...
