auto vs manual
#42
My auto is a 4th gen. I like it a lot, it feels quick enough for me and when I get down at it from a stop you always get a perfect launch. The auto 4th gens can pretty hard though. That would be my only complaint. Sometimes when it shifts it feels like you ran over something.

I just came back from a race 358 miles round trip. I have a 7 gal fuel cell and a 5 gal container that I take with me. I made 13 "1/4" mile passes as well which aren't that great for mileage. Got home with a 1/4 tank of fuel and averaged 30 mpg not counting the gas left in the tank, I think thats pretty good for an auto. Quickest pass was a 12.6 @ 111 on 24.5" slicks, slowest pass was a 12.9 on street tires 2.0 60'. It idles along at 2000 rpm at 60 mph on cruise and averages 36 mpg at that speed.
Don't think I would ever trade my auto for manual. But, if I ever have a spare hand that needs something to do, there are other things to play with that give more pleasure than a shift lever.
