Ferrari and Lambo no longer produce manual vehicles. Of course, that's because the hyper rich only want the appearance of speed and the fastest available.

Most of the Mustang GT's I find on lots are autos. It's just a sign of the times. Most drivers don't appreciate the added control and involvement of rowing the gears yourself. It's a shame, because it's really fun and safer imo.
Is definitely safer, i don't know about you but I find it pretty difficult to talk on a cell phone and shifting at the same time so I never do it. You also have to pay more attention to what you are doing. So it's a win win situation except for the fact that people are lazy
