Automatic vs. Manual

[Minmey15]

I had an AUTO late-model firebird V8 for years...it was time to go back to a manual. I'm glad I did in the G

It all comes down to your preference and your commute.

I would go for one of those SGM or SMG or whatever they call it??? That clutchless manual thingy. If Skyline comes out with that, I'd tade mine in right now.

The GT-R has it...sequential dual clutch. Its like having a manual-auto...very cool!

The only think that drives me nuts is that you can't down shift into 1st while rolling unless you rev the engine. And if you're RPMs are too low, the car will vibrate at you like you're raping it.

I can downshift into first at 20 MPH with no problem and without reving the engine. I can roll to a traffic light without touching the brakes. I frequently make my 50 mile commute without the use of the brakes until I reach the parking lot at work. Been driving sticks for over 40 years

Nice, I drove a Brembo 6mt 04 coupe last night!!! I was thinking of trading mine in...

But I'm still on the fence... I think, I would smoke that car if he lined up to me at the track... My feelings towards the 6mt has diminished, with the grounding kit, intake and exhaust, I think I'd beat him to 110mph, anyway, just a thought.

I did notice an incredible difference in exhaust note, without the extra resonators etc.... oh, and if it wasn't 27k, I'd probably have already bought it, but I don't want to lose too much, know what I mean?

just my 2cents...

The gate on my G and my wife's celica stay closed when trying to shift into first at anything over 5mph. I might have to contact the dealer about this.

I'll start a new thread too.

Thanks Telco.
