The auto looses more power through the drivetrain, and you can shift the manual just as fast as the RX-8 auto does. I've driven quite a few RX-8s and I like them.

Now since this is a kills forum, and you want to run someone, sometime, PM me and we'll get together to run. I don't have an RX-8, but you can see how it will stack up against a stock RX7.
