pushing your revs up to where you would land if you downshifted.

yeah man, its not really about the performance, i mean its only marginally faster, the advantage is really not that much. Its the fun factor that makes stick what it is, the total control you get from the clutch is just irreplacable. its all about the fun factor.

All of you that say you can't have fun driving AT's are WRONG. Seems to me people that drive stick always feel like they're better than the autos. This is coming from a guy who's had only been driving stick cars all his life and even I dont have that attitude.
Guess you never sat in my car before. Touchscreen, dvd's, mp3's. I should say driving an AT isnt that bad.

And dont get me started about getting road head either!!
