Yes making fun of you makes me feel better about myself for getting the manual transmission, but really I'm doing you a favor for shunning you. I would rather have my organs slowly ripped from my body than be caught in public with an automatic sports car. I would also feel very grateful to anyone who had the courage to explain how ridiculous I am if I were to somehow make the foolish choice of getting an auto 8, so that I may not be so foolish in the future.

Auto 8= joke

MT 8=instant classic

This isn't the place to come in and start ripping on people that ask a legitamite question. Do I go to your threads and start saying your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberry? No.

Stupid F***S!

I have a 4 port 4 speed AT that I will put against you guy's anytime and any track.
Somebody should give you a vasectomy to stop your genetic line so there won't be anymore people like you in the world.

i have a manual, but i'd pay good money to put a sequential (automatic) transmission in.

All you AT bashers are jackasses. The RX isnt made for straight line speed anyway, go buy a mustang. The fact of the matter is the AT RX8 handles the same as an MT, and even better if the MT driver can't shift fast enough. I challenge any of you AT bashers to a canyon race and I guarantee I will win or at least prove that you dont need a manual trans to be a good driver.

I would understand the bashing more if the RX series had traditionally been available as standard only, but it's had an automatic option for a while I think..

Not to mention automatic does not take away the spirit of driving. Unless shifting with a clutch is all driving is about.
