So... you just agreed with me. You don't shift it yourself, you tell the computer when to shift it. Which is fine, but don't kid yourself. I'd put money on your car (especially with your tune) being faster in auto mode than manual mode.

Is speed everything? Who was shifting hte manual? were they driving it like they stole it? Or slow shifting it like a grandma.
The point being is YES with a automatic you get the same shifts each time. They are very perdictable and remove human error and reaction times from the equation. But if thats what you want, why drive at all? Just get a car that does all of it for you and is always fast.
Manual > automatic manual > pure automatic. PERIOD

Some modern automatics are quicker than H-pattern manuals. Just about every automated manual is quicker than its H-pattern manual as well.

I mean I could just say to each his own. because thats the truth of the matter. But honestly arguing about this is entertaining.
