Default auto/stick or manual transmission?

I am still considering getting an Audi, but now I am torn between the auto and the manual. If I am going to mod my Audi, will the auto respond to the mods very well? Thanks.

If you plan on going for a larger amount of power you might want to consider a manual. For one, they are a little faster. For two, it is sorta unknown how much the auto tranny can handle torque wise. If you just want to chip then auto will work and it is convenient if you are concerned about that.

Default you can easily replace alot of the transmission...

parts of a manual car(clutch, etc) to accept higher power of the engine. i asked around aw to see how much people thought the automatic transmission could take and most people said apr's stage 3 or a ko4 turbo kit could be about it. the sky is the limit with a manual, good luck with finding a car.
