I eat a lot of crap for driving an auto WRX, but the truth is, until I have to shell out money for a new trans, I'm sticking by what I say.
+1 All real racers are using autos anymore. Computers are so much smarter and faster then a person. Not to mention consistant. Yes, I do love my manual, but I know I could drive better with an auto.
