Anyhow, anyhow lol, I would go with a 6 speed manual. I like a manual because you always have complete control, and there is less to go wrong. With any automatic, you have valvebodies, and all kinds of electronics to go bad. I am not sure how much power a SMG can hold, or for how long either. Temps are very critical to autos, whereas manuals are just a little stouter in most cases. I think ANY "pure" drivers car should come with a stick standard. I dont think autos have room in a drivers car, and that is just my opinion. | SMG and the 6 speed use exactly the same Getrag gearbox so it should be just as stout as the 6 speed. Granted, there's more stuff needed to do automate the clutch but I haven't had any trouble with mine
