I went with the 6mt, I think sports coupes should all be manual.

The times that your going to love having manual are going to outweigh the times you wish you had auto.

well if u have to ask yourself this question then get the auto... but if u do get the 6mt please dont complain about driving in traffic, personally any1 who complains about driving in traffic with a 6mt is just a big wuss, i drive it traffic plenty of times, no problem there... but that seems to be the general response, OMG TRAFFIC and 6MT=DEATH omg.. ugh

Come on Dillers, when was the last time you saw a "Real Blonde" in your
neighborhood....LOL?
Get the MT like our members have said, "They're FUN!" I survived our '94
earthquake aftermath with my '92 300ZTT inch at a time on our roads and
never hurt my clutch....cause I know how!

Haha last time I was in a bus going through Hoboken in heavy traffic., just staring out the window at the houses and **** and the empty sidewalk, and then a black Jeep Wrangler drove past us ON THE SIDEWALK. I was just like wtf? And it cut a car off a couple cars up to get off the sidewalk haha. Sounds like you have a lot of fun driving there.

Of course 0-60 isn't much, but it's still a big difference.

Don't really have one. Just seemed to be a big number of people thing 5.4-5.6 for the manual. And auto is somewhere 5.8-6.3, regardless of the source, a stock manual and a stock auto, the manual is gonna be faster with a good driver.

It's truely amazing how few people drive a stick anymore. I take mine to the local car wash once in a blue moon to get the oil changed and they have to call the manager cause none of the kids knows how to drive a stick!

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?? You should get the fvck off the road and ride a tricycle.

On a kinder note, OP you should ask yourself what kind of driving you do, and how involved you want to be in the driving experience, whether anyone else (non-MT drivers) will be driving your car etc.

Interesting to note that nearly all the respondents are 6MT drivers, who of course will say 6MT. You should drive both for more than a few minutes and make your own decision.
