Re: [DML] Automatic vs. Stick

[AJL521@xxxxxxx]

I happen to enjoy my 5 speed DeLorean, with the exception of being stuck in 
traffic on a hill, which is never any fun.  There were fewer automatics 
produced, in fact if my memory serves me correctly the ratio was about 2 to 1, or 
even 3 to 1.  The production numbers have been published on the list before I 
believe.  
       Either transmission has benefits and drawbacks, with the stick 
transmissions requiring the occasional clutch and the automatics with their computer 
governor issues.  In any case I just looked up the price of a governor on DMC 
(texas') website, and it appears they are now selling rebuilt units for a much 
lower price then the new ones were going for, which makes the purchase of an 
Automatic less risky from a cost standpoint.
       It really all comes down to your own personal taste.
