I drove both, ended up with the 6AT and have no regrets.

I'm guessing if you think the 6AT is gutless it's because you were driving it "wrong". Only place I could tell a real difference is 0 to 5MPH, and that's because of the Nanny on all autos that keep you from brake revving at full brakes. Once you figure out the 3/4 brake start, even that isn't that much different. Beyond that, I prefer the auto because I like keeping both hands on the wheel in corners (which is what I bought the car for).

As has been been beaten to death here, resurrected, beaten to death again, zombified, and beheaded, different strokes...
