Manual for me!!

Though drive my parents SS sometimes which is auto.. and thats still fun.. though i use the 'manual gear selection' insted, or power button:P hehe either of the two

I also noticed when heading in or out of corners it wasnt as good as manual, as its to hard to get the gears/rpm right. maybe it just takes lots and lots of practise

goto agree - neither spastic or female.. LOL..

yeah - manual here.. wouldn't dream of driving anything else at this stage in life..

My 33's a manual...also have an auto Getz for the Mrs...fully sick

[Sambo33]

manual, i like the control factor. i once made the mistake of buying an auto silvia cos they were a lot cheaper than the manual version ...never again...

[zymotic]

Prefer manual but I bought a tiptronic auto and saved myself $5-6k on the same car with manual. The tiptronic is about half way as good as a manual compared to just auto.

auto...........i'm only going to go to manual for performance reasons.

auto's are way better for daily driving

[Sl!m]

well, I have a manual car and an automatic car

[slow13dude]

well, I have a manual car and an automatic car

Yeah where's the *both* option?

[xRHETTx]

Manual. I think i'd fall asleep if i had to drive an auto. There just crap, full stop. They are for towing and hardcore drag racing, and double amputees.

Autos better for city driving? Nah, you guys are just slack. I love changing gears.

[Sumo]

Manual here

I thought sports cars had to be manual

[Jimbo2000]

manual for a sport/performace car

auto for anything else

anyone saying otherwise is wasting time

[darren32]

i have 2 32s both are autos, my wife car is getting converted to a manual.

but she doent have 2 drive on the m1 everyworking day . the auto mayb a little slower but a hi flowed turbo takes care of that

Manual here,

i had a auto in my r33 for around 9 months and it was good

but powering around corners at speed, and then it changes gear on ya, is abit annoying

and not knowin when its goin to kick ya out.

just got my r33 changed to manual and have noticed more responsiveness in the manual and gained power

auto 166.9rwkw on 10psi

manual 170.1rwkw on 8 psi and a slippin clutch so had more to go.

the slippage clutch problem has been solved for now.

also im moddin my car abit, and was tryin to find an ecu to suit the auto and the power im wantin

i couldnt find shit, unless i went for a piggyback or a safc or something like that

later on i might be replacing clutches and stuff, but whoopee doo, its more fun to drive

i have more control over the car, can whack it down a gear when i want

Only thing i loved about the auto is burnouts, and traffic driving, and being able to have a drink while driving haha !!!

I drive an auto R33.

If I had a choice I'd go manual (went auto for budget reasons) but auto is very relaxing to drive and to use the RB25DET power in traffic is just like an on/off switch.

The worst thing about getting an auto R33 is that aftermarket computers (eg PowerFC) don't accomodate for auto gearboxes.

[gun32gtr]

manual anyday of the week

[noise]

my skyline is manual and my bunky 86 corolla is auto.

[flex]

I drive an auto. loud and proud.

[someonestolecc]

manual for general use = linearity and predictability for throttle control.

auto (manualised auto) for drag = when that extra .001 matters with the big v8.
