Its an auto, problem?

The tiburon guys also seem to agree that the automatics are stronger.

For the amount of driving I do an automatic was the only logical choice. I would like to see you drive your 5 speed through LA traffic.
I also get 40mpg when the traffic clears.

Twenty years of driving in Manhattan with a manual, so I'm not impressed with your excuse...

No, having an auto is not a problem. I just think it's funny that you pretend to know what you're talking about, but you drive an automatic. Common man, get real!!!

Based on your attitude the only way you will have a car like the Tib in the video is if you buy that one!!! The guys who build cars like that listen, learn and respect other's. You are not capable of that.

This discussion has gotten to be a bit outrageous. A couple of things:

1. Just because someone drives an automatic doesn't mean that they don't know anything about cars. Some of us just prefer to not shift our own gears.

2. Port and polishing the stock cylinder head may get you a few horsepower, but I don't think that the increased power will be apparent in real world driving, but if you do try it anyways I do hope that you see a positive difference.

3. We are all a team here, any criticism of ideas needs to be constructive and there is no need for finger pointing or name calling.
