Not really, it depends on the application... If you are running a domestic with heavy parts, and you are dragging a C6 3-Spd Transmission will shift better than any human with the right kit.


But on our car, and little ricers yeah i agree.

Uh. . . what percentage of cars on the road NOW (today, and not in fantasy land) produce enough torque to even be driveable with a C6 3spd??? We're talking about normal day to day drive to work cars, not drag racers! Are you really telling me you drive your 1000hp nitro-meth funnycar racer to the local store?

Most cars with a V6/I4 option sell the lower displacement motor in FAR GREATER numbers. If anything, the C6 would make MOST cars less efficient and undriveable.

Actually yes, I am telling you that. In the USA V8's are a lot more common than the tuk-tuk's u guys have. It is needed because we (in my location) are very far apart and have to haul a lot of stuff. I have had several cars, and this is the first to not have a V8.(Yes I love V8's, and don't care about emissions). However I respect your opinion, and you are welcome to have it.

Tomato (and myself) are right. No need to argue over transmissions. As I said in the first post, it is all dependent on the application.

TTYL Guys, I am unsubscribing. I think the guy can figure out an AT now.

I am an AMERICAN. I've lived in the USA all my life, I've only been in Thailand for less than one year. There are far less V8's in the US than you think; just look at recent auto sales. . . I'm so glad I'm not living there now. It seems people cannot understand that when someone says "I'm American," it means they are American, have lived there, and understand the difference between a tuk tuk and a V8. Maybe it's just a Texas thing? What was it? Vocabulatory Dictionaryation?

I purchased a manual for three reasons:

1 I have had some friends with older toyota's and the only issues they had was with the auto transmission

2 The manuel on paper gets better gas mileage

3 Greatly limits the amount of lame friends who want to barrow my car!!!!

I love it , just take my car!!! Oh yea you can't cuz you can not make it go!

V8's do not rule our auto world. As much as you would like to believe, it's just not true. How many US automakers have been shut down and scaled back? Do you know the reason for that? It's not financially feasible for the majority of our country to throw hundreds of dollars down the drain a month on gas. They use way too much gas with their big V8 SuperDiesels that get 10-12mpg. And Texas does not make up the United States either. You have to take into account that there are states outside of your definition of the US.

No offense to the OP, but how is it possible to never have driven an auto?

You need to to pass your driver's test to get your license. I've never heard of a modern driving school or DMV that uses manuals for tests. Plus, you've never rented a car, borrowed a car, or anything?

We need more back story on your driving history just for curiosity's sake. I can't even imagine the plausibility of this.

I've driven thousands of cars (literally - I drive for a car dealer) and 98% are automatics.

A majority of models available in the US don't even have available MT's either.

Read the first few posts again "I have driven manual for years"...

Plus, if I recall correctly, this guy had recently moved to the US from Europe
