I drive in a town where they just didn't consider all the population growth when designing the roads, so I am constantly in traffic, this is why i didnt get a M/T, although i do love them. But i was on the I road last night and we were coming back from the mall, when this Yellow Mustang GT pulls up and rides next to us for a while, Bass thumping(sounding like shizza) and the guy in the drivers seat looks over at my GF in the passenger seat and winks, lol!! So i had an epiphany, I dropped it into manual, dropped the gear and vroom gone left that fool sitting... he tried to catch up but then i darted out in front of him and got off on my exit, he had the horn blarin, haha!!! life's sweet little justices. Go Nissan!!!

It's great off the line especially against other 4 bangers! I've used manual mode a couple times but to be honest I just go wot in regular "D" and it feels much faster. (the rpm's jump up to peak a h*ll of a lot faster with a cat-back exhaust) I was rolling on a civic si (02 or around that year) up to 70 but then we hit traffic. I LOVE THIS CAR!

In my profession, if i were to jump outta my ride and woop this guy, the public would burn me and i would be without a job, No good so yeah self control is the measure of a mature human being.
