The bottom line is if you want modern tech that will help you be faster and overcome many of your driving faults, by an auto in a later model sports car and call it a day. Trying to make a manual drive faster without all of the other drive train upgrades will get you little to nothing at all. Spend the money on seat time and an instructor.
At some point the BMW DCT swap will be a real thing and that will the biggest time saver on our outdated manual transmission setup.

You’re right. Seat time is the most important mod. I’ll take electronics all day. I don’t have the budget to repair the track and my car at the same time. I’ll live with my faults and slowly try to over come them
With seat time. If I’m able to drive a manual transmission just as fast as Dct competitors then when And If I ever decide to make that switch I’ll be quick.
Plus I know my place in the car world. I can’t compete in the same class as these track mod and unlimited teams. I’m building car around the rules I can afford to be competitive in.
Biggest thing for any driver is to get comfortable driving on the limits. With or without electronics.
