I can Drive Stick, my Camaro is Stick, my Charger is an Automatic

i am Just bringing this up because some Auto trans are better then a manual (My c6 is awesome for the Camaro but the 727 auto in my charger is >> then the manual option Mopar had/has for my car) also for the average driver (even the ones who think they are good) an Automatic with a kit installed will be a better choice.

schumacher drives automated clutch cars in f1. he has and drives several manuals even though he has infinite money and choices of automatics in many of those cars. that said, anything that is not manual is for pussies.

I was like... WTF? Why? Isn't the joy in driving a manual playing with the stick shift? I personally think the foot clutch is the biggest pain.

I dunno, launching my car wouldn't be as nearly as effective without being able to slip the clutch and have total control of the car. Without slipping the clutch, the turbo bogs and the car lurches, if you slip it and keep the boost up, I can hit about a 4.5 0-60, vs about 6.

Yeah, I dunno, after driving autos my whole life, and driving this car for a good while, I don't think I could hear an argument that would make me think this car would be better with an auto.
