Fast and furious crowd eh? Lol. I understand what you're saying. TBH tho, it's the turns that make the MT most fun, doing heel-toe and revmatching. If you're not into that stuff, then auto prob better.
But AT is slower than MT anyway by just a bit.

You can still drift it around and it's really fun with just a little snow on the ground. In clear conditions you can take a cloverleaf going 70mph and still not have traction control kick in, which I have never seen another consumer car capable of. The paddle shifters are really fun when going through roundabouts or cruising on the interstate.
I'd have to say the biggest things that make me grateful I got auto were that I am a Taekwondo instructor and my legs are tired at the end of the day and getting stuck in rush hour isn't so bad when you're not on and off the clutch a thousand times.
Don't let the Fast and Furious crowd get to you. The 86 is a great car in either form and this is a pretty advanced auto transmission and no four speed piece of archaic trash.  |
