Manual or Auto?

Any thoughts? I heard it may be released some time in January. I personally like the idea of the paddle shifted auto (attributing I guess getting older or getting lazier) and twist machines product is right up there against todays auto technology, but I already have a manual 6 speed and debating on going opposite.

No other company has made more progress towards adapting mechatronic manual technology for hot rods. And it's been a long road. Mastershift has spent years refining the process. Mechatronic manuals have been around since the late 80's (in racing) For OE applications, where every car that rolls off the assembly line is identical, the technology has been perfected. But in the world of hot rods, every car is unique. Making a product that can be adapted to a wide range of applications is the challenge. Adaptation is the key word. Mastershift has done it. And I think the price is reasonable. Big progress has been made in just the last six months. If the Mastershift system interests you, give them a call. Be prepared to spend some time discussing how the system works and how it installs to see if it fits your needs.
