Cheers mate, appreciate the info.
Im likely to go for the Sport auto. Dont want to start another MC shift vs auto discussion, but given I am likely to go for the auto, am i going to be disappointed with the sound? Can that be fixed. My 4.7 S MC shift that i briefly had years ago sounded amazing and i never once even thought about modifying the exhaust.
I very much doubt you'd be dissapointed. To be honest, if it's been a while since you've driven one, you probably won't even notice.
The sound and tone is extremely similar. It's just the little characteristic noises on up and down shifts that are different. Not bad, just different.
In my 2013, now with x-pipe, to get the same drama as I did in my 2011 changing down, I now drop 2 gears at a time. Sounds Awsome.
Obviously an auto will be different, but very much doubt it'll be a let down. It's 90% on a scale of Awsome!
There is still no other car out there that sounds as nice (IMHO)
