Currently, there's no replacement for the enjoyment I garnish from a properly executed heel-toe-double-clutch rev match. The A/T being faster on track is predominately irrelevant because in many road racing classes, there will often be a BOP that addresses any specific car advantage or shortcoming. Even when I'm racing my FRS - I really find the mastery of 3 pedals to be more "fun". After all, if racing wasn't fun - I'd stop spending 10s of 1000s of dollars on it immediately.



The long and short of it is - Owners want the car to be more "fun" in it's intended overall use. When I buy an impractical car it better maximize fun and where sports cars are concerned that involves 3 pedals. It turns out, I am not all people and others find their A/T to be "more fun" and that's fine. Making assumptions about people beyond that point, is sort of absurd.



p.s. I like how a M/T sort of makes my car (more) theft proof.
