5 spd vs Auto

Exactly why I'm getting the MOTOR MOUNTS,(that was for you CavLcd) either new ones or taking them out of my 2.2, and the B&M shift plus first and foremost for performance mods :grinyes:

ehhh that matching mod for mod thing *with a shift kit* really just destroys the whole point. Butttt like the auto impreza I raced, and killed, I still think autos dont have the upper hand until they actually get the power to make up for the one less gear.

It can go either way, we can sit here and argue all day long and get nowhere.
here is a read on manual vs. auto tranny http://www.kitcarmag.com/techarticles/0311_manual_automatic_transmission_tech/

''if you are going to do hard-core drag racing, you cannot beat an automatic transmission. For road racing and autocrossing, I believe you need to have a manual transmission. For driving on the street, it is personal preference. I prefer the manual trans because it is more period-correct. An automatic in your daily driver may be more convenient, but banging a four-speed is a lot more fun for me."

Can we close this thread now? lol It's getting old and nobodies mind is going to change from their own preference.

Alright go ahead an lock it then lance lol
