I agree with North_GA_FRS. Just take the vehicle out first stock and see what it is capable of. I can assure you that for most beginners on a track the automatic will provide the faster time as you can concentrate on your lines and not have to worry about rev matching. The automatic transmission is very intuitive on track and rev-matches quite well under hard braking. As stated by another member, many individuals track their automatic 86's every other weekend such as Robert Stangarone who is extremely competitive in autocross. Moto from Club4AG also tracks his automatic FRS and can post faster times than most manual NA cars without a sweat. It all boils down to getting seat time first. Just take it out and enjoy it. Decide what modifications you need after you have surpassed the limits of the vehicle.
