It basically comes down to preference, but in this day and age I think using both sets of hands and feet to drive a vehicle is a little outdated. All the new vehicles from Ferrari, Porsche, and even Lamborghini have some sort of auto F1 paddle shifters as options. Even the new 1001 HP Bugatti Veyron is an auto. Times have changed people. I'm guessing in another 10 years many trannies won't even exist.
