I don't know about that but I do know that the '86 Dodge Ram I drive is an
auto and has pulled everything ever hooked up to it, has never been stuck
in the mud, has never given any problems (Except for a seal leak and I
don't count that), and I outaccelerate everyone else at the stoplight in
it, plus you don't have the hastle of fooling with a clutch, so for me
autos rule. But I do like sticks in sports cars, it seems a waste to have
an auto in a car like a Stealth or a Viper (I know they don't have auots
available, just making a point).
