automatics have alot of power yet after 90 but the five speed maxima
still has more.

These "auto sucks" people are pissing me off... Auto's aren't made for pure performance and that shouldn't be expected from them.

If I drive in traffic for four hours each day I don't want a manual transmission... that would be a very very poor decision.

Autos have their place, so simply put, shut the fuck up.

Isnt these forums for people to state facts and express thier

opionions? I agree automatics are better when driving in traffic,

and Id say my auto is just as fast as a five speed until a certain speed

though, but I dont think you need to come and tell people in here

to shut the F@@@ up.

my car's a 5 spd. and i drive threw really heavy traffic all the time without a problem.... i don't mind it at all, gives you somethin to do instead of being bored inching up

anyways it's pretty much just as easy, i just put my left foot in a different place. Instead of leavin it on the floor, i use it to hold the clutch half in... then i just keep it in first gear. and it's just like an auto, i just press the accelerator when i need to inch up
not a big deal

if you want to be mostly performance based, go for the stick.... if you don't like shifting threw traffic than whatever get what you want
but it's a known fact that sticks are alot quicker, so what are we arguing?

just get a valvebody upgrade and you should be shifting like a 5spd but the manual tranny will be better on the track but should be really close on the 1/4.
