Re: Standard and Automatic transmission (Nitrovette)
Great points everyone on the "How are you gonna drive" questions. Have to agree though on drag racing....the Auto is so much easier to be consistant in when bracket racing. Predictable dials win the races (as long as you can cut a good tree!) Standards are harder to shift exactly the same way & speed every run. For road raceing/auto cross I think I would want the 6 speed. :yesnod:

Re: Standard and Automatic transmission (borba)
I can't imagine that you are going to get a non-bias answer on this.
It's very simple though...buy for you. Get what YOU want or you need.
I'm not wrong for getting an A-4, nor is anybody who has a M-6. I was in a
rut where my previous 6 cars/trucks were all manuals. I was ready for an auto.
I live in the city where the speed limit is 45mph or less including upteen
school zones. I've switched cars for a day with another C5er and his
is a manual on my trip to work I never got past 4th gear, until I 'Supertramped' it and "took the long way home" on the interstate :D
