Ouch! Thats a little extreme, IMO. Just because some of us prefer manual transmissions & perhaps a few less things being run by the Computor doesnt mean we want an Amish Ox Cart as our daily driver or sports car. Lets be reasonable here!
Things like Fuel injection and disc brakes all-around are no brainer upgrades and quite desirable. So are some other innovative things that have come our way. But, it aint all good. Like, how about stupid emissions crap? Like my buddy says: Your car has a "Check Wallet" light now and thats what it may as well say on the dash. Oh, the finnuzle valve speed sensor went bad. It requires removal of the entire interior to get at. Part is $17 dollars, labor is $1700. That kind of crap. You know what I mean here. I'd also argue that we should have easy control over our cars settings as far as performance goes. It shouldnt have to go to an expensive "tuner guy" or have to by "by-passed" by some digital witchcraft. You should able to connect to most of your cars basic performance settings and tweak them using your iPad and a bluetooth connection. Stuff like that.
The thread was comparing an Auto to the MT choice for the Camaro. If thats the discussion then Im on the side of the MT. Every time.
