Not too argue with you, but now you're just changing your initial statement about super cars not using autos. You didn't say auto without torque converters, etc. With or without, torque converter, DCT or not, many supercars out there are autos. From the looks of it that's probably what they'll only be offered with in a few years. In either case, technology is changing there's not doubt about that.

Now, there are still nice cars that have torque converter autos, but nothing up in the super car category - the ones still running torque converters are ones like the BMW 335, Lexus IS-F, and similar.
