Cripples

I never understood why any was made in an automatic (Well, except for the über-luxury cars).

Probably because shifting is not for everybody. Different strokes for different folks...

I just think there are some cars that shouldn't be automatics. The 2.5RS is one of them. It has that "look" to it. Then you go up to the window and see PRND2L. I see what you're saying though. And from a business standpoint its correct. It's just a pet peeve of mine. I had this before I even knew how to drive standard. Going up to a 'Stang and not seeing a stick shift was just wrong.

What's REALLY a shame is when they made V6 Camaros and Mustangs back before a V6 would have 250-300hp.

Back when I was in college, when it snowed uphill both ways, some V-8s only had 110 HP. Corvette 350 had something like 170 HP. Camaro 305 had maybe 150 HP with twin-throttle-body package. Them was mighty dark times. I'm sure glad that multi-point fool injection and dry intake manifolds came along to save us.

SFI truly was a new dawn for power and performance.
