Im not going to change anyones opinion on autos and no one is going to ever convince me to buy an auto. When the day comes that autos are no longer produced, i guess i will no longer buy new cars.

well it has nothing to do with age it's more about the tech of autos has come far enough where it's making manual obsolete.

when dealing with performance based cars you're trying to get maximum efficiency from the power you have. if a lighting quick shifting transmission is available then why not go that route. quicker shifts = less rpm drop which equals faster lap times. that's what it's all about since every sports car is tested at the ring and shooting for the fastest lap time possible.
