there is no downfall to an auto...your not going to be throwing 300hp through it, just dont repeatedly beat on it, dont neutral drop it, dont throw it in park from 20mph, and make sure the fluid is clean every 5k or so.



and for anyone here trying to run this "auto's suck for racing" bullshit...all i can say is you have a whole hell of a lot to learn. give me a hi-po built awd stalled auto 4g63 any day.
well i know autos are a bitch on the course, fuckin wrong gear everywhere...but apparently that isn't considered racing

ah f1 cars are auto! there are either full auto or there go up anor down the gears for you! you don't have to have a stick to be a sport driver hond up the corvett. alot of race cars are auto like some rally cars the lmp sport cars and like i said f1 are semi auto! i just think its dumb to say the all autos are slow yes your not going to make a 500 hp car though a honda auto but for the stuff you drive around hear a auto is fine ..

I just enjoy driving sticks, in traffic or on a track. Autos are no fun at all to me.

Of course not. The only way to be Fast and Furious is with a stick!

Manual Valve body FTW by the way...unless your driving a 4-cyl econobox which can't handle the small power loss of a good slushbox.

People always hate on the Buick, but bench seats are the best for getting road head! More proof that auto is FTW.

less fatigue, less tickets, cheaper repairs, more head on the go, better for traffic.


Automatic, for governor.
