Just reinforces how disappointing it is that BMW would opt not to put a manual in the M4. I understand dual-clutch gearboxes are faster, but cars are being evaluated by numbers and laptimes when what should matter more is how fun they are to drive. So thankful for the Twins.

It takes serious effort to drive a manual well at the track. I look forward to it. A poorly driven manual makes for a slow car.
