I heard it's worth just as much to buy a car or something of that nature.

bleh i'm goin to get warrenty work done.....I dont know what caused it this time. I had it overhauled about 4 months ago because i was doing neutral drops and things of that nature....but since the overhaul i quit all the racing and neutral drops and decided to go all show instead. I'm just hoping the guy at the shop doesnt try to BS and say its been raced and the warrenty is void. I know I havnt raced it since the overhaul for that reason.

AzNmiKex215 will become famous soon enough

just get it fixed under warrenty, then sell the car or trade it back in for a manual.

Manuals ARE faster. Those drag cars you're talking about are much different than the cars you find on the street.

great job, lets compare a multi-million dollar/several thousand horse power racing car to an imported 4 cylinder economy car....designed to run on 87 octane gasoline....not alcohol or nitro

its true that some of the best automatic cars in the world are faster....but thats when they're tuned to do so. a stock stick shift civic will beat a stock auto civic. why? cuz the driver controls all the aspects that cant be controlled in an auto civic. stick is better..engine braking makes my brakes last longer, and overall its more fuel efficient and not to mention easier to maintain...those are reasons enough to me as to why stick shift is better than auto....auto is fine, but id rather stick to the std transmission. btw...it also makes the car cheaper.
