To argue that the automatic has "more power" is true, but an argument that falls flat with me because the "more power" is not controlled by the driver.
This is, without question, one of the dumbest posts on this topic I have ever read. You don't control the engine with a clutch.
Point taken, and again...my apologies for the thoughtless post.
