I had to jump into this conversation because I defend A/T's. I have a A/T 240 and so do I lot of other people. I driven M/T 240 and some other cars M/T. I have to stick with A/T. There are a lot of performance cars that are vearing towards A/T. Yes M/T's have certain advantages but so do A/T's especially in resale value. If you do blue book on any car with A/T you'll see that A/T is almost $1000 more than M/T. This is because its considerd luxury but dont be fooled. Look at this site www.levelten.com. Drop one of these in your 240 and watch those M/T's try and catch up. Also if you plan to drift, A/T allows you to focus on the drift (countersteer, throttle, etc.) Just ask Kat

! Which will better your skills when you downgrade to a M/T. Oh! And a 240 with a tricked out A/T is a MAJOR sleeper!

The auto 240's are nice cars. But when you compare to a 5-speed they don't have the same performance. You cant help but feel separated from the engine a little.
If you really want a 240 get one, auto or manual.
BTW for the price of a level 10 upgrade you could have swapped to 5-speed almost three times.

i rather drive an automatic. Don't get me wrong I love 5-speeds, but an automatic has a quicker take off, and it barely loses any boost between shifts.

i tend to like M/T just because in my opinion, its more fun to drive. dont get me wrong, there are distinct advantages to A/T, as well
