gotta go with the auto. its just eaiser

 

on the feet, half easier so it doesn't feel like

but on the count of potentially not being able to drive a manual

 

I can see how the manual would be hard on your pedicure.

 

Give me the auto.
For 2011 and after 412hp is plenty to play with. Now if the Boss could come in an auto I'd consider it.
Oh I turn 62 this year and saving for a new GT

 

Thanks, I think.... same thing happens to my right foot with an auto only it takes longer. it's rather annoying

 

be a man drive a stick shift car!

 

DFV, I hear you there. I've been driving manual trans cars daily for over 12 years now and every once in awhile I have to drive an automatic (rental car, etc) and when I do, it feels really weird, like "Where's the third pedal?"..."I don't need to do anything but steer with my right hand?".

 

Defiantly stick!

 

STICK! I wanted an auto, but all my friends said STICK. I'm having so much fun with the stick. Traffic is no problem. Bonus for me was I put a short shift in. "LOVE IT"

 

I'd like to hear more from Glenn....

 

If I could only find somebody to teach me stick, I'd probably convert. :/

 

awesome here's my take. I would go for the auto stick car with the auto trans with a stick shift lever that would put the car in auto drive mode. It would have to be push button though.

 

Glenn u a bipolar?

 

automatic.. is that when a car drives itself???


everytime i get in my GF eclipse,
i go to push the clutch to start the car only to have my left foot slam the floor cant find that third pedal anywhere.. i think it needs a trip to the dealer

 

no .. he just goes both ways

 

bipolar no way off kilter yep just a tad lol

 

my car is a manual.. BUT if I were buying a new 5.0, it would be an automatic. Faster, more consistent and my wife could drive it too

 

Manuals are able to be in the right gear for what is needed next where as the automatic is always a second or two behind. On another point. Autos are better for long trips? In my experience it the opposite. On long trips the car stays in 5th for hours at a time. Usually with the cruise control engaged. No shifting to do unless I need to get around something. Then its nice to have 3rd or 4th pre selected for the punch around.

 

Automatic. Because I like to hold wheel with two hands. Also I can put more attention to driving activity itself without minding the clutch pedal. Imo There is enought torgue in GT to handle the loss of dynamics created by automatic tranny

 

What's a stick transmission?
