How the hell is this any different from romping the loud pedal in a high HP/high torque automatic??? Please!! I need to understand your logic?? I've driven a number of autos that have plenty of torque to defeat the traction of the rubber from a standstill. How is this not putting "more power down faster than conditions warrant!"??

Are you just so bitter, never having learned how to properly drive a manual, that you have to slam them in every diatribe? Even now, in this repose, where the validity of your claims is questionable at best and the logic incomprehensible??
