Your view or not it's still a manual and those 9'second range auto's and torque convertor are not being sold for chump change either.

Not bashing auto's but just disagreeing with your opinion of needing an auto to go really fast.

Re: automatic vs manual
Mine is stick also. Auto tranny's just suck all your power out, I can understand people who want a car that's easy to drive, but if you want power you gotta go Manual

I thought liberty manuals were clutchless transmissions that used clutchpacks instead of sycros to lock a gear the the shaft?

no fair to compare a clutchless manual to a standard manual

Re: automatic vs manual
Im 5speed.

However it is not true that Manuals are the only way for power. Many fast as hell cars feature performance automatic transmissions.

Re: automatic vs manual
I have a manual. I prefer manuals over automatics any day, especially in a sports car!

Re: automatic vs manual
9s or under an AUTO for repeatability, all other give me a stick.

Re: automatic vs manual
In a street car I like my 5 speed. In my strip/street car I'm going with a C4. Figured it might help keep those pesky blue lights away if I accidently hit 2nd a lil too hard .
