How are you supposed to do mad drifts in your high school parking lot with an auto?

Pure sport cars have a clutch pedal. End of the story, the end. Thank you for reading.

Then the other two cars i drove prior to the frs were also automatic because I was done with my street racing, getting tickets left and right and i was able to afford a new car.

My auto frs that have made me drive the way i used to. Not as hard because I haven't got any tickets on it -yet. Yes I get bored of my cars very fast and that's is why I've had quite a few. But I have to say it will be hard for me to get bored of my FRS.

The reason I din't mentioned it before is because it was irrelevant to my comment but thanks for asking. BTW I'm 26 in case i sound too old.
Thanks for letting me know. I think before making an assumption of which type of vehicle is better for anyone (because driving MT or AT is very opinionated), they would have to have driven both. If you sat in both seats, attempted to drive both without bias and choose -- then your opinion in the above would be 100% valid (in this case it is). If you come from AT world, never touched MT, think MT mode = MT -- then you're mistaken.

Thank you for sharing. I can understand that someone says AT or MT is best, but best for them! Not anyone else but them. People will always feel a way for the car, one way or another. My posts are always my opinion when it comes to this subject, in no way do I intend to force my opinion on others, but I think that in order to say one or the other is great -- the experience is what matters, and an unbiased experience is even greater.

Put lunch trays under the back tires, this is common knowledge.

The forum already agreed on this saying a while ago..


If you want the best out of the FRS, you buy the Automatic.
If you want the most out of the FRS, you buy the Manual.

Its not that hard to understand.

Do you want my license plate number as well?

Sorry, as others have stated -- high end sports vehicles do come with an automatic feel, but it has an internal clutch, doesn't necessarily need a clutch pedal.

Please take your comments elsewhere, you don't add to the subject.
Just to add, whether I repeated something someone else said, it's my response to someone other than you. I'm, in this case at least, being respectful. You're just being a douche.
You're not intelligently adding anything to this conversation from the last comment. Do me a favor and ignore my posts from now on if you don't want to read it. Especially because you're just poking fun and not staying on subject. This board will soon turn into some deserted place with people like yourself.

Hmmm pretty much stop and go traffic for daily commute. And haven't driven a manual in years. To get mt or at. Hmmmmm. From my test drive I did enjoy the feel of the clutch and stick though.

I lost sleep over this decision 5 months ago and ended up selecting the MT over the AT. $1100 and ~50 lbs saved. I love driving the MT although I wouldn't give anyone who chooses the AT any crap since it is excellent as well. Keep in mind, fewer and fewer exotics (read: real sports cars) come in stick nowadays and most drivers probably could drive better around a track with the FRS AT. No doubt the MT will be faster off the line in a straight.
