Manual trans is the ONLY way to fly in a sports car :yes

Just the other day, my g/f and I saw a VERY high-end Carrera with an auto trans! I have never seen one and found it hard to believe it was even made! :puke

Ask yourself some questions first:
1. Will you be modding it moderately/heavily? If so, auto will end up with more consistent track times.
2. Will you be doing 1/4 or autocross style racing? I'd rather have manual on a autocross, but auto on a 1/4 for consistency.
3. Will this be a DD/heavy traffic driving? Manual can get a bit annoying, it hasn't annoyed me yet, but I hear others don't like it.
4. Is money an issue or resale value? manual will be noticeably cheaper, but lower resale as well.

Manual. This is my first stick car. It's super easy to learn. I got stuck in three traffic jams on the way of my one hour commute one day and my leg wasnt sore when i got into work but meh i guess thats just me. Also like 07stanggt said if you dont ride someones ass its alot easier to do. Plus your going to be going to a VA school. Most roads are wide open and curvy. They beg to be driven in a stick. As for the DD thing, just make someone else drive lol.
