6 spd semi auto or 5 speed manual! Which trans will you get on your X?

So there is the question!

which will you get on your X?

which do you think will be faster?

Do you guys think the SST will get boring?

the auto will be faster, but the 5-spd will be way more fun

If I can afford it, it'll be SST for me, but I doubt I can afford an MR. A GSR SST would already be pushing my budget.

I would also get the 5-speed because it is a lot more fun to drive. The SST will be faster because of the dual clutch sport shift transmission. Any type of auto trans will be faster than a manual don't you think?

Auto.'s are more consistent, good for bracket racers and really fast cars.

Thanks for the post

I wonder what the difference is in power to the wheels on both?

Don't confuse the regular auto trans with a torque converter to a dual clutch automated manual like the SST or DSG.

SST for me. But only because it will be my rush hour car/daily driver. My IX will still be there for weekends and open roads. All of us who wished that mitsubishi sent us the GT-A will finally have the choice.

SST easily

If I want to play with the gears then I'm a S-Sport setting away from driving like a bat outta hell (God knows I already have a lead foot in a 4cyc SUV )
