Everytime I think you have learned something, I find you actually seemed to become more dim. Now, you can't even read.
Please re-read my posts and point out where I said an automatic was superior to a manual.
You are assuming my car only has 120 horses when it had 130 IIRC stock and that was before intake and exhaust work.
You were the one that said:
no such thing as performance and good mpg? Mark VIII-300 horses and 30 mpg
Performance (a word you used) is more than HP unless you want to only bench race engine (which I will admit you seem to be very good at).
I worry that you are aspiring to own a Mark VII- what are you like 65 years old or something?
Your arguments are so weak that you start talking about people's family. What's next- yo momma jokes?
