i don't at all. My last two performance cars were manual. I got frustrated when i would go to the track and struggle to get good sixty foots. I have just as much fun driving my a4 and i'm getting ready to do a yank ss3200 or ss3600 in a month.

It's a love/hate relationship

I hated it at first. Now I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. The stall and gears combo makes my car a lot of fun to drive. And A4's are much easier on the stock 10 bolt.

A4 is the way to go for consistency, just aim and mash the gas.
Mine's never missed a gear yet! And has tweaked a bunch of my "less HP loss" M6 friends.

I got sick of thrashing Auto's.. I blew up the 10 Bolt and did the smart thing, invested in a Moser 9". On the test drive for the Moser install I killed the Auto I had in it when a Snap Ring came loose and blew up 3&4, so I said **** the Auto, the Moser's under the back, and I'm putting in a built T56.

I want to feel what my 402 can do rowing through the Gears dragin people on the Street..
