I believe us ole school enthusiasts believe a real sports car has a manual trans.Thats the way they originated and it was a given through the years.I mean a sports car with an automatic trans is for the young techy's that never drove a manual trans for the most part.Some I see on here are buying manual and learning which is a cool thing.
The die hard sports car enthusiast track driving for the most part are driving manual.
Either way it is a nice car and alot of fun to drive.

I learned to drive on a stick. I think stick is cool. But in the 90's I learned about semi auto transmissions in race applications. I bought my 93 rx7 a manual. Dropped the manual out of it and put in a semi auto with a click shift. Which means I can shift on the floor or revert to a small stick on the side of the steering wheel. It looked like a stick for the blinkers but a lot thinner and 30 degrees below the blinker control.

That was more fun than the manual cuz I was more focused on handling than gearing. Which gives u a much bigger advantage in real world driving as well as lap racing.
