Manule V.S Automatic

[Supra91_ishot]

Okay, this is the question I have been waiting to ask some of you Supra experts about.

A lot of people are telling me that if you drive a stick Supra, it's more powerful from the get go than the automatic ones. Say it's same years, same car with same turbo and all stock. I'm sure a manule can beat an automatic from the get go. But what I don't really understand is that why people are having so much hyped about manule's?

How 'bout say, we go onto the highways? Who'll win?

My friends are telling me that I should consider a manule Supra next time. But I think it's all the same.
