[QUOTE="MFE, post: 16651986, member: 36397"] The term "slushbox" came about for a reason. Back in the day, automatics were awful. You couldn't touch the speed of a manual trans with an auto trans. You could make an automatic consistent, which was important to drag racers, but other than that, manuals won out in practically every other circumstance. But that was back when auto trans meant 3, maybe 4 speeds without a lockup converter. Now, with 8 or even 10 speed autos, especially the ones like PDK's that have the next gear ready to go as soon as commanded, and which can be shifted in 0.10 of a second, you can't keep an engine on power and in its powerband with a manual anywhere near as well as can be done with an automatic.
