But when it comes to race time, they stop hatin'. Automatic builds CONSTANT boost. Through all 4 gears. It never quits boosting, so it is better for turbocharged vehicles. Manual is better for certain things, like acceleration, but that's IF you know how to shift. I usually just shift my auto manually if I wanna show off, but then again the ECT button does the exact same thing as me pushing more rpms and shifting from L-2-D(O/D OFF)-D(O/D ON) I like manuals because they are fun to drive, and you can hear the boost let out, which is intimidating. In conclusion, hating on automatic cars can have repercussions.. Automatic builds constant boost, and doesn't let it go until you let off the accelerator, manuals have to re-build boost ever shift. Hope this helped.

would i ever change my manual out NO. would i take an automatic out yes.
Most of us have lower power needs 300-450 i think in this range you have more power with a Manual but with over 450-++++ Auto will just plan drive. no messing around!

I like both. The manual transmission is a bit lighter and more...well... raw. The auto is great as you don't really lose boost when shifting from one gear to the next.
In a high HP build I prefer auto actually; lower power turbos, either; in N/As... manual... gotta have something to do while you're waiting for the car to get some speed going.

Man transmission
...Man. Transmission.. All the way.. You can't be seriously thinking auto is more fun.. Sure there are advantages and yes yes I know about Nascar and stuff.. That's more like the newer m3 transmission though.. Really, I feel like Man transmission is just MORE FUN!
I mean seriously.. It's like 7 against 1.. Only one person fan boyed out the Man. Transmission. I gotta back my brotha up.. Man. Transmission.. I mean.. Just look at this --> "MAN TRANSMISSION" Autos can
