As car enthusiasts, we all generally agree that a manual transmission can really improve the driving experience of a car. But what about cars that we know are good in manual form but were also offered with the dreaded torque converter automatic transmission? Well today, I got to find out first hand by driving an automatic 1991 Acura NSX and a car that was only offered in automatic, the 2006 MercedesBenz SLR Mclaren. Check it out, the results might surprise you!

Huge shoutout to ‪@WorldwideAuctioneers‬ for this incredible opportunity. Be sure to check out a replay of the live stream on their channel!
