If your looking for which car is faster then the auto

I've drove both as I have the AT, and am the one that loses both the races in these vids.. I've spent awhile with the MT.. In the end I don't regret my decision. I'm 3secs down on randy pobst at streets of willow in my at equipped FRS.. So it's fast enough and still a ton of fun to drive.. It takes a bit more effort to drift and unless its wet its not doing a burn out.. The MT was just as fun, and easier to act like a hooligan.. But the people that say its night and day difference I just don't get.. It's the same car.. Your just using your left leg.. Both are fun to drive.. Tons of fun.. And you won't go wrong with either..

Like others have said.. Test drive both and see which you like more.. And for the record I don't use the paddles unless at the track.. Every other time I use the shifter and always leave it in M mode..
