Everyone knows an auto can be quick, thats not why they have a bad rep. Its because of the level of you control you have with a manual.

I dont care if one of my friends drives an automatic, but I would never want to own one(and I never have lol)

It's funny, I've heard guys say this before. Then I give them a ride in my car and they feel the relentless never ending pull or at the track they see how easily and consistently I run 10s on a bone stock tranny while they are suffering from broken shift forks, missed shifts and clutch problems. Now they are asking how they can convert. I have nothing against manuals and have owned both.

There are some quick autos out there, the transmissions just can't take the beatings after awhile though.
I'd have to disagree...The auto's on these cars are stronger and hold more power stock for stock, and with a shift kit and larger cooler, these auto's are very strong and durable.
