Did I ever say the auto was better? no
Did I ever say the auto was faster? no
Did I admit the auto is around a half second slower or so? Yes
Will the auto be quicker mod for mod? no
Will the auto most likely pick up more from a tune? Yes (remember the transmission can be retuned as well so the auto can indeed benefit better from a tune than a manual)
"because if you understood ANYTHING about transmissions, and gearing, you would know"
Is a half second slower in the 1/4 a big deal on the street? Not at all and only above city speeds will you really notice this.
Is saying an auto being a half second slower on the street ok back peddaling? no
Do I honestly care that your getting competitive to prove a moot point? Yeah not so much.
My whole arguement is and was that an auto isnt as bad as your making out. Did I prove that point? yes.

So in the end am I done? Sure am.
