Can't think of any time that an auto was the less expensive option in anything too. I'm sure there's probably been at least one situation where the manual was a "premium" option though.
like i said, i have nothing against automatics. the automatic frs is slower and more expensive. to make it less slow, it gets even more expensive. people can buy automatics if they want and change whatever they want. if you are trying to make a car fast its best to start with the cheaper, faster option. thats all im saying
