    A/T are just big blenders... Swirling a bunch of liquid around... You dont get 1:1 RPM to MPH... I dont mind M/T in traffic... only time I hate M/T is stopped on a steap hill. Simply put M/T = User to Car Direct interface... A/T = User to Computer to Car interface on top of having an insufficent torque converter... If you are just daily driving your car and dont want control of it then A/T is great... If you wanna call your self a driver and want full control over the car M/T is only way.

    As for the flat buttom wheel... It seems almost inpossible with the stock wheel. Cuz you start cutting back the bezal your getting into airbag area. Im not a big fan of the stock wheel at all... why not just get a after market one?

    Thumbs down

    I've driven manuals for many years. You A/T haters ain't really sayin sh1t. Y'all keep talkin bout real driver cuz y? U can time a gear shift? Driving is so much more than driving a gear shift. Its knowing when and how to execute a gear. Whether a manual or manumatic. If u can select properly, while keeping your 5 senses at its optimum at speed ranges jumpin from 80 to 160mph then u sayin somethin.
    You change the gear... the computer sends the signal. SO F**K*N WAT? As long as u get that torque response. Again on that losing power bulls**t. The AT's the last 5 years out shift humans. PERIOD! That's y the autos out accelerate every Time.
    As far as needing a manual. To get the most power out of a completely tuned car. MEANING YOU ARE LOOKING TO MAKE OVER 500WHP. (The typical range for H.O. V6's) you MUST GET THE MANUAL.
    If your just a broke AZZ shmuck buyin a 30k car n all u gonna do is throw 7k in mods n call it the next 5 years then u can get either. Both work fine.
    As far as real driver. I have a 7at g37. I will race any foo who thinks a at doesn't produce. Sh1t if u think u can't handle a G. Ill race anyone in my altima 3.5 sedan. Not a skilless drag race. A danger race. Highway style. I guarantee you manual or not. U won't make it against me. That's a real driver. I will do it in a manual or in a auto. U kno y? Cuz as long as I can make a car fly... I don't mind if I die.
    All of u at haters can talk manual rules all day long.
    Man up n put ya money where ya mouth is. Oh n only race me if ur hungry. Cuz I'm a feed u a lot o dust. Lmao!
    Its funny how people come online to h8 instead of stand united as a lover of the gen.
    2.0 fools and 3.8 punks dissin each other over who has a better car. Manual and auto drivers dissin over who's a real driver. All this c**k measurin but no usin they d**k. Hmmmmm? I don't own genny yet. N its kinda sad that a 5 time nissan 2time mazda and 2 time muscle car owner is showin more luv and respect for all genny nodels than the owners themselves. N I'm in $11,000 more car. I can play elitist all day long n y'all couldn't say sh1t cuz what I would say is true. But I'm comin str8 at u enthusiast style. Keep it real n cut the BS.

    Lastly the steering wheel is doable if an aftermarket company gets a license to reproduce the part. U probably will have to pay 1200 for the wheel but I would pay it.

    damn this thread blew up about A/T vs M/T, thats a little ridiculous, its all about preferences... and being that A/T has the Paddle shifter options the difference between A/T and M/T is becoming smaller and smaller... people already have the dual clutch paddle shifter options, with the option to run a normal A/T drive mode, sport mode utilizes the Clutch and paddle shifter and normal 'D' uses your normal A/T functions... so the small blurry line between A/T and M/T is gonna be nothing and people wont know what kind of Tranny they have....

    I'm thinking the steering wheel from the new Sonata would make a pretty sweet looking flat bottomed addition to the GC. Maybe we can get the PN from that and look into pricing and get a vendor involved. Should retain all button controls I think.
