Hmmmm... I personally can't remember ever giving anybody a hard time for getting an automatic. In fact, I know I've even stated here before that I drove an automatic one and it was better than I expected.
Again, I'm not saying the car is underpowered and it's awful and blah blah blah. I'm saying a little more (or more mid rang torque) wouldn't hurt. Of course, there is aftermarket solutions for that, but it would still be nice to see something extra from the box.
I had a GS intake, tomei EL header, and OFT and thought it was just the right amount of power for the car. The extra torque from a UEL would have been nice but o personally hate the sound.
I find it amusing though that people like to dismiss anybody's reasoning for wanting more power from the car, as if everybody wants the exact same thing from the car.
