I love driving a stick but figured with 707 hp on tap, I would be driving way to aggressively and either get tickets 5 times a week or kill myself. I opted for the A8 and couldn't be happier! That transmission is awesome!

QUOTE="huggytree, post: 303697, member: 749"]why does a z06 come in a A8?
why do Ferrari and Lamborghini come in automatics?

at some point you will be unable to compete with a manual and will get tired of A8's kicking your *ss.......Shelby now makes an automatic......and maybe the next gt500 will be an auto option too.....maybe a twin turbo 6 w/ an A9??

manual is fun....but is it worth being slower?

Well that time has NOT come for the Viper ACR. The 2016 Viper ACR holds more track records than any other production car in the WORLD! Did I mention all production Vipers are manuals? A Viper holds more records than the Z06, Ferrari, Porsche 918, Shelby etc... Look it up on Road and Track Viper ACR sets 13 track records. Even in this day and age a manual is very relevant and it takes more skill to master them.

As I stated before I respect the A8's and eventually cars like the Tesla's and IPhones on wheels will be the norm, but not for this guy. I've yet to get my *ss kicked by any street car.[/QUOTE]


Then you haven't raced a hellcat with the A8 yet have you?
