As for power i was just curious. I have driven both an auto and my 5spd in the same year with the same mods and it just seems that the 5spd has more power. Maybe its just the fact that i have dialed in my shifting and i have a brand new tranny and clutch to be able ot do it quick. Either way i wouldn't give up my stick.
I can easily burnout in my v6 5spd where as the v6 auto, people can't even get the tires to screech on dry pavement.... heck I've held down the brake and gave my truck 75% throttle and it had no problem loosing grip to be able to burnout... and that's with new tires on dry coarse pavement.

I think there is another thread on here that a guy is having problems trying to burn out in his 4.6l auto... I could be wrong... but when I had a rental 4.6l regular cab, it was difficult to get those tires to spin. I think the automatic just robs a lot of power.
