What makes up a real man has nothing to do with the stuff he owns or likes.
I'm sounding like DC, I know.

It's not like they're watering down these super cars by making them automatic--they're actually making them more effective in the hands of most drivers.
Yep.
not really relevant since it doesn't change your argument but FYI those F1 drivers don't use manuals, they use paddle shifters with no clutch pedal.........paddle shifters in road cars came from F1 technology.
the latest F1 gearboxes in Ferrari automobiles and the like shift faster than is physically possible.....nobody can make gear shifts in under 50 ms. and the dual clutch gearboxes are even more effective.
but that's the thing.....none of us are (to use more modern names) hamilton or alonso. we don't get our driving satisfaction from shaving hundredths of a second off of lap times on race tracks.
for most driving enthusiasts, being in complete control of the car is a much more exciting and rewarding experience than having the car make decisions for you, even if it can do it better than you.
i could definitely run a faster lap time in an AWD, F1-transmission car with the traction control on. doesn't mean it's a better drive. gimme a RWD 6 spd, no electronic aids, it'll be way more challenging and i'll have the time of my life.

I drive a 2008 350z with 6MT. I've gotten dome while driving it. Just jump on the highway and turn on cruise control.Originally Posted by Mr718
These comments don't phase me. 93% of the dudes that drive manual on NT push a rust bucket anyway. Drivin manual doesn't appeal to everyone (believe it or not). Even in my lil tiptronic mode I forget to shift, I can just imagine how man clutches I would burn thru,.
Drivin while feelin on tig-ol-bitties or gettin dome >>>>>>>>> manual.
