[Adinfinitum]

Considering buying an 86 GT. Have not yet test driven, but was pretty impressed with the layout when I looked at them at last years auto show.

The car begs to be an manual transmission, and they are more fun to drive, but not sure I want to go that route. It'll be a 2nd car for me in addition to my 2011 Tundra and will see daily use even though I telework much more now... Tough decision for me because I love manuals, but still like the convenience of an automatic for daily driving.

How good is the automatic? does it precisely shift when in manual mode? Is is "as fun" to drive? Every automatic I've driven don't seem to do a very good job with this.

Another concern, is that there isn't a lot of inventory right now, and the GT's that have automatics don't seem to come with the TRD handling package which I would be interested in having. Did automatics ever come packaged this way??
