Whatever one really good man can do, a whole ton of machines can do better every time. It goes back to the point we were trying to make, that autos are faster and more consistent. Can a few really good professionals do it faster than some transmissions that probably aren't modded for it, sure. Can everyone? No.

A really built auto tranny in high performance car can shift faster than you can even decide to. The reason most autos seem slower at shifting is because they're programmed from the factory to provide a more comfortable ride. Ever ridden in a auto track car? It's one of the most harsh jolts you'll ever experience when it shifts at the top of a gear.

But back to the original point, manuals are fun for a weekend toy. But for daily drivers and the auto is more comfortable and faster when you really get on it.
and your pretty much right. im just saying you CAN keep up with an auto with a manual. ive done it many of times myself.

my brother has a shift kit in his mustang and yess it does jerk forward hard hitting second. BUT i could pop the clutch when i shift and get the same effect. no its not the most proper way but it can be done.

and really i think its personal preference. i have no problem driveing a manual everyday. i prefer it. like i said i can get better gas milage and i can better control my car.

all in personal preference.
