RE: random thread to talk about whatever
I drove a manual for the first time in person tonight (lots of racing on a simulator, GTR2 for the PC), a highly modified EVO IX with a picky clutch. Stalled 2 or 3 times, the gripping point is so fine on it. I think he's losing some drivability in the city, but it responds so well when you want to move in a hurry (and I did...holy christ I smiled like an idiot and giggled for 5 minutes..360WHP!).
Got used to it quickly though, and I will never buy another automatic as long as I can help it.

A common problem among people who drive stick then get into an automatic. A bit scary the first time it happens, or if you aren"t really fully alert.

gayyyyyyy. UBM nothing beats a standard. yea its got a slap stick but its pointless. its not fun if your not doing the work. if you complain that you drive in traffic and drive a standard then okay fine. leave earlier or something lol. but automatic. will never buy one. 5-6 spd all the way
