Which way is every leaning towards? Auto or Manual Trans.
Everyone knows that Manual trans are supposed to provide better performance and gas mileage, but my neighbor was making the argument that unless you are an expert shifter and work at shifting quickly each time, that the automatic is the better bet. Yes, if you are racing from a dead-stop then a manual does is best... but how often are you doing that?
Also... small point, but consider that it seems with the initial sky rollout, they were shipping manual trans first, skipping over automatics in the queue. Maybe theyve worked out whatever early issue they had and wont be the case for redline, but if manual gets ya the car a month or two faster...
