I just want everyone to understand that I'm not saying an ATX is better. I'm just saying that it's not bad...
Yes, there good and bad things about both depending what you are doing with the car. If you're going to roadrace or auto-X, yes you NEED a stick. If you're just going to just be driving the car around and maybe a race here and there on the street (if thats what she'll be doing), it doesn't really matter. The point is, Nick told her that 5 speeds are "better" and "you have more control over the car". For a street drivin car, thats just plain false...
Also, has anyone noticed that alot new cars (even the performance cars) have clutchless manual trasmissions. They are basically ATX's with more gears. :shrug
