They don't care if you're faster at a stoplight or faster around a track with an AT.
And an automatic transmission stops the feeling of "piloting" a car? I think it's merely a macho thing to feel superior as part of the dying breed. I get that. I just think it's sad that some would bypass an excellent automatic transmission for such reasons. There are so many cars that "manual only" people can't drive. Including super cars.....

I just don't get it. I've read so many posts from "manual only" people and the reasons are all equally.......... As if they've never driven a good automatics on a nice track, or a good automatic in rush hour traffic.
