and who says autos dont get ****ed??? if i take my car to the track i always shift mine manually... but that is just me...
I wasn't saying auto's are bad - just saying that putting a "shift" **** on a transmission that isn't constantly being shifted by the driver (unlike a manual) IMO is all looks, not functionality.

Plus no offense but your garden variety 4-speeder auto tranny wasn't designed to handle the stress of constant shifting on a track either. I've seen a lot of auto trannies go out on people trying to drive their automatic like it was a stick, and when you crack open the transmission it's not pretty
