I would without a doubt rather be a little slower with a manual trans and truly enjoy driving than get that last bit with an auto.

My first reaction is to say, build it right once, and never worry about it. And then I remembered who this thread was about. I suppose the alternative is to not drive the car so hard?

I've made my disdain for autos no secret. Did I pick this car and buy it? No. Is it better than driving the Explorer? Yes obviously, but every time I drive it I think of how much more fun it could be. Do I drive the Z much? No - more like once or twice a month a month to meets...

Autos wont keep him from slamming the car into Drive as he's rolling backwards.
I forsee more transmission issues in the future.
