Simple question. Is converting from an automatic worth it? I figured that a manual would perform better and be more fun to drive but I found a good deal on a nice automatic so I got it. I read the FAQ about the auto having 20 less hp but still being able to beat the manual to 100 mph. How is that possible? as far as racing goes, it would be best to have a manual right? So how can the auto get to 100 mph faster? I would rather have a manual but not if I have to go through a huge conversion process to be slower.
