It cracks me up seeing people with the MT bash on the AT when the vast majority of people who buy the MT aren't shifting nearly as fast as the AT and certainly aren't heel-toeing anywhere close to what the AT can do. 95% of the people bashing the AT would get spanked by someone with the same skill level in an AT FR-S on a road course or autox. I don't know very many people at all who can heel-toe very high up in the powerband and rev-match perfectly while still maintaining the same level of finesse on the brake they would have if they weren't shifting...
Then again, those who are good enough to out-shift an AT entering corners have serious track/auto-x seat time and most likely actually have respect for the twins' ATs since they are quite good.
So what you can't clutch kick in AT? I had zero problems flicking the ass out and going for a slide - if you can't have fun in the AT FR-S you are doing something very, very wrong!

Just forward this to every twin owner that hates autos. Thanks lol
