Mike, I understand your reasoning, and the Porsche autos have been faster than a human can shift for 15+ years, but they
still offer a manual, hell the Viper ONLY comes in a manual and that is a driver's car. I know I will get some flack, but it amazes me that a company will spend the amount on R&D that they do, to cater to true performance enthusiasts, only to turn a percentage of them away with the auto gearbox...
