Contrary to popular belief, an auto can give you just as much performance as a stick, especially for straightline. Ever wondered why many of the insanely fast (9sec) blown big block drag cars use a Powerglide 2sp auto tranny? It's just as good, if not better than a manual. Unless you are really good at driving stick, an auto is the way to go, and a hell of a lot easier for driving every day. Sure, a stick is more fun, and I'd personally buy one for my car if I ever got something sporty, but don't knock auto's as less, cause they really aren't.
