No matter how hard people try, clutches are not torque converters. In a dig, the auto should have an advantage given the extra low range the torque converter gives it. Also, the increased weight of the automatic isn't as big of a deal in an already heavy car (as it's a smaller percentage increase.)

I should note that the V that set the Nurburgring time was also an automatic.

I prefer manuals and love that the original V was had no automatic option. Neverthelesss, if I were to buy a V today (I wish) I think I'd get the auto.

there are 3 things that a super car should not have

1- front wheel drive (yes you heard me right all you honda civic lovers)
2- auto box
3- ECS or any other mahoogany computer mumbo jumbo

I like the ctsV, but the auto turns me off

1. Check
2. Check, and double check
3. As long as it can be fully disengaged...
