People seem to want or expect more low rpm torque for the MT application, heck, I'd like that, but on a naturally aspirated gasoline engine, that takes long skinny cylinders with long crank throw, which pushes redline lower and often is wheezy at high rpms - which would be a bad match for A/TThis is a great post.
Nothing against the excellent auto, especially considering the superior towing numbers. But I don’t understand “you have to downshift and rev the manual” comments given the auto will likewise downshift like crazy when accelerating on the interstate. Downshifts with a manual have this implication of being harmful somehow, as if the engine ‘knows’ why it’s being asked to run at 4K rpm or whatever in one instance versus another…
