fwiw, i'd pass on an automatic, even in a muscle car which doesn't require a lot of gear hunting, the same way i wouldn't want to play a video game with one button.

I think I'd die a little on the inside with those in an automatic.

A note for those folks who must drive a stick yet live in a hilly city. Subaru has that fantastic hill holder thingy (dunno if their fast cars do) that's a life saver in these situations.

Between this and the crying thread, there's a lot of stupid machismo afloat in OOT these days.

i have a 6 speed 350z and i just wanted to say if i was buying anything fast i would def go with stick...the enjoyment you get from downshifting to pass and jamming thru gears while accelerating greatly outweighs w/e hassle it can be in the city
