i've done all of those things in a manual...what i don't think a lot of people realize is you're only spending a fraction of your time changing gears, unless you're in traffic which of course i think an automatic is a no brainer.

But for real tho, I thought OP was asking for opinions on what people prefer. I personally prefer automatic transmissions with turbocharged cars because you can take advantage of EVERYTHING the turbo has to give. Understand where im coming from; Im a 23 year old kid from the midwest we have thin traffic and 1/4 mile straightaways everywhere. Alot of people in this reigon still modify their cars and take them around the town to race on weekends. Im saying I would personally prefer a Turbo-Auto set up for latenight streetrod because they are considerably faster off the line. If I lived somewhere else might choose diffrently but living in Kansas City a Turbo Regal is just Sooooo proper.
I completley agree that manuals are more engaging and give you much more control of the car. Natrually asprated and supercharged cars also usually drive better and are prefered by seroius enthusiests because they give gradual consistant power delivery and dont suffer from lag that can make a turbo car harder to handle around an unexpected bend.
The only thing ignorant and pathetic is the fact you think Im even arguing.
Manual 5 forward 1 reverse driving the rear wheels
fixed
as was said when in doubt push the clutch! other than that just learn to feel it every engine has a character and every transmission has a profile, learn them match them...happy shifting!
PS expensive proposition sir w/ that e36 M3
