BTW as far as supercars and going extreme speeds in a manual. Do the names Ascari, ZR1, and Gumpert Apollo ring a bell? Last I checked if you asked for a Vette Z06 or Zr1 in auto they'd laugh at you. Btw how do you practice an auto, go out and see how quickly you can tap the paddle? It's ok I know the auto is an extra option and I know that you have to defend yourself, and it helps that it's consistently faster, but the diehards...we'll keep our 6 speeds, after all there's more to a sports car than pressing buttons.

PS-If you are going through twisties and find yourself having a rough time controlling the car you probably shouldn't be doing it and you can still have two hands on the wheel in a manual, I do it all the time.
