Default Candy-ass automatic S2000

Now you can parade around in a s2000 without being able to drive a manual transmission.

Isn't there some kind of Civic enthusiast on here who's into automatic transmissions?

just hold the wheel with your knees... automatic, no thank you. IMO I've never understood the following cars in automatics: carrera, m3, just to start...

Hey this may be the same automatic used the new BMW M3 series. This isn't your grandma's automatic my friends. This is a computer controlled manual transmission. Developed by the F1 BMW team.

Paddle shift with automatic clucthing with 8 different programs from economy to racing!

BADDASS!

perhaps I'm a little old school, but if it doesn't have a clutch to press in with my foot and a shift lever to move through an h pattern, it's an automatic to me. I don't want to drink my coffee and talk on the phone while I drive and be able to shift off the steering wheel buttons.

the 355(I think this was the number...blue, beige leather v8 $90k used 40k miles) I was in was a stick, a standard - had to wait a few minutes before you could use second gear - it had to warm up... but it was worth it. I enjoyed shifting the h pattern with chrome slots and can you believe it! No cup holder...I almost wrote a letter to ferrari and complained but I figured they get that letter all the time. j/k
