Turbo: Auto or Stick? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be NoviaScotiaDave on  Wed Jan 20 11:08 CST 2010 [RELATED]

If you were looking for a 242 or 244 turbo, would you look for an automatic or a stick? Or, at this point, whatever can be had with a straight and relatively rust free body?

I've heard that the automatic is actually better suited to the turbo, because with a stick boost trails off between shifts. On the other hand, the stick probably puts more power to the wheels. Big difference in fuel economy? Do the clutches last as long on the turbos w/M46, as they do on the N/A cars?

TIA...
