I've driven manuals for 30 years and bought the auto because it performs on the track better than the manual. Click the picture of our car in my signature for stuff to do on an auto and listen to the people who tell you to drive the car before modding. We track our at and it's not lowered yet. It's very capable in stock form.

Congrats and enjoy!
