Sun, 21 July 2002 03:00 OOoohhh... someone likes shifting their own gears Thing is, both auto and manual trans cars have a purpose. If you like manuals so much, you should be DISCOURAGING people from buying them, so theres more for the rest of us Anyway, both can be good fun. In standard form, (most!) auto's are pretty painful (e.g. can anyone say v6 commodore? something like that?), but then again standard manuals can be a bit lame too, often fitted with clunky/overly long gearshifts and piss weak clutches. (before anyone tries to bite my noggin off, I know there are SOME notable exceptions to that!) But then they joy of driving a manual is a decent gearshift (or a sequential one!), a fairly bitey clutch and an engine that likes to rev (especially a smaller engine). Then again, go for a ride in an auto car with shift kit, high stall converter, etc., and discover what its like to get a big smack in the guts every gearchange, or the effortless joys of nice easy sideways slides at any given moment. Granted, I generally prefer a manual (can't afford a sequential box and I'm not really into drag racing + I don't drive a falcon ), but everything has a place... [Report message to a moderator]
