Dont think i'd be able to drive my celica if i had an auto....sorry for everybody out there with one!
I wanted an auto when I first started looking cause I wasn't sure how good at a stick I'd be, but now I'm glad that I got a stick cause I've got an st, and that'd be crazy slow
Ya, isnt there a big loss of power with the auto?
Auto tranny is only 4 speed. So if your racing with an auto your car is going to die!! lol and it cost more to get it repaired and whatnot.

Ouch, now i feel even more sorry for those with an auto.
erm... my dad wants to get a shift kit for my auto (i dont think they make one) hes convinced that auto's r also good he used to drag race with autos but with shift kits so it shifted at the optimum time for speed and hp. a human can screw up shifting (skip a gear, shift at wrong rpm) but an auto (with kit) wont. yes manuals are sa-weet. but lets give credit to the autos a little?

umm.... car die, what are u talkin about, with a torque converter u can walk allover sticks, if u dont believe me come down to kc >biggrin.gif> and there is a shift kit but its hella expensive but there is no power loss between the shifts, check out level10.com awsome stuff
But how could the 4speed auto possibly be as fast as the 5speed manual (even with a shift kit)?
the only problem with a auto is the launch speed, the stock torque converter sucks and only allows a launch at 21krpm, witha torque converter u can launch like a manual and when the auto shifts it doesnt take its time it SHIFTS and there is no power loss like a stick un less ur a god at shifting then there might be competition. but with a good torque converter u can beat the hell outa ne stick, ive done it, ive seen a modded up auto prelude whopp a 5.0 >biggrin.gif>
<---manual transmission
oh yeah forgot to say what i have i got a auto im not ashamed to admit it, if it was a manual it be great to. i love this auto when im in traffic. >biggrin.gif>
I love having a 5speed... but I have to admit having an auto in traffic would be nice. There have been a few times I was in traffic for 2 hours and my leg went numb from the clutch. Why can't I ever get stuck in traffice on a down-slope??? Its never enough just to "drift"... anyway - I've always had and always will have a 5speed.
only thing that sucks bout having a stick is the damn cup holders when i have drinks.....and lets not get into that argument again >rolleyes.gif>
no comparison, manual is more fun.
And besides, with manual you can peel out... and isn't that what cars are all about?
