most of these new cars are the shiftronic tranys and you can controll the gear you in but it still does not compare to a 5 speed or 6 speed when your racing lol

Yes, I can select what gear im in (L, 2, 3, and D) and ive tried racing that way, but just keeping it in D is a lot better IMO

Tragic man.

I dunno, I've been racing for a long time now, anything other than manual feels alien to me. Driving my mother's Camry is a nightmare, cause I can't stop trying to push in the dummy pedal.

no choice for me means no left foot and right hand!

although im sure with a little creativity (and a lot of money!) a manual tranny could be modified for that need!
