Thanks for your replies again.
I would love to get an MT, but I have to get an AT since I’m paraplegic haha. There are equipment for us to drive MTs but they are too complex, too expensive and too automatics haha… it is much better to simply get an AT.
I think the RX-8 is the best option (even if it’s an AT). Great design, performance, sound, older years are really affordable, etc. But now I know that if I really want a RX-8 AT I would have to find a ’06 version. I hope to find something affordable or else I would have to look for another car.

06AT's are 6-spd, 6-ports. For the MTs, they revised some things like the PCV valve.

Automatics are the **** , you dont even have to drive the car.You would never have to drive again , isn't that great? Why would you buy a sports car to drive it? Plus rx8's have a **** load of torque , by the time a manual transmission gets to shift you're already 4 gears ahead of him cause it shifts so fast. Lol go buy yourself a MT rx8 , unless you're an old man , or buying a sports car just for looks.
I dont know.

Get outta here! Wipers that can sense water droplets?! What will they think of next? doors that will automatically lock itself? Or warning systems if you drift across lanes? Wow!!!

After market CATS are illegal in California.

Cat Back will give you 4 hp.

Your better off with a Racing Beat intake.

You can also get a better fuel efficiency (an aspect of performance) with auto due to the difference in the final gear ratio, right?

Yes, but mostly in highway driving, as the torque converter only locks-up in the higher gears.

You should have mentioned you were a girl first.
We would have still asked you why you posted in a thread that has nothing to do with your financial situation.

Don't know why you think girls need to get special treatment, anyway.

They shouldn't necessarily. You should treat everyone respectable. Warnings have been issued by two different Moderators and posts deleted.
