yeah i agree about autos shifting better but i say again you get more outta the car with a manual. No autos dont hold more power stock for stock thats bs for sure. A stock accent auto vs std is NOT more powerfull , again gearing my be different and for sure the shifting is smoother but a std tranny can and will hold more. Look up all the performance parts shops online they all have turbo kits for autos and std trannies. The std hp out puts for those kits are more than the autos, std is lighter and so what about the clutch, its a lot cheeper to upgrade a clutch than it is to biuld an auto tranny. DAMN a 300 whp Auto Tibby? thats crazy that would be better. A drag car for sure needs to be auto to shift and maintain power. autox and even amitur rally a manuel is best...unless you have a tiptronic auto...those are better for that. Its hard to say. This day and age Autos are getting so much better than std. My moms Z4 is the 6 speed auto with tiptronic paddle shifters. HUGE difference between that and a M3. Her car smokes 'em every time. It just is a matter of opinion i guess. Std is more fun but depending on the car and what you plan to do with it, its all up in the air.
Oh yeah you acctully need SKILL to drive a manual. Any pro driver who uses a manel is abetter driver than those with the autos...again, its just more fun beacause its you driving it.
