I agree the manual is a lot more fun and I kind of miss it, but when I am at the drag strip, I am so happy that my auto stays in full boost the entire time and never misses a shift. I've been in some very close races against cars with manuals and it is awesome when we are neck and neck and they have to shift which gives me just enough time to edge ahead of them. No better feeling for me.
