"Confucius say, man who drive automatic is shiftless ba$@#d"
What's the point in having a "sports car" with an automatic? Part of the fun is shifting thru the gears!!
Believe it or not, there are now
8 speed automatics in cars!! These things shift so quick, and smooth, you can't even tell what gear it's in, nor can you
feel the shifts. BOOOOOORING!
My '74 is a 4 speed, the '85 is an automatic, but....the trans in the '85 will knock yer head off when ya git down on it, just like a standard power shift! With 5-6-7-8 speed automatics, it's impossible to get that same feeling...the parts inside just won't handle it.
Manual shifts ROCK! I don need no stinkin namby-pamby 'puter tellin ME whut gear I should be in....I'll do it meself!
