An auto box just takes away from that.
And all the cars you listed are definitely sports cars, just not the automatic versions.

you sir have obviously never been in a GTR or Vette with a pro going 10/10ths. both cars are absolutely viscous and unforgiving at the limit and to generalize experience based on the fact that it's an auto trans is just stupid. there really isn't that much more experience required to drive a manual either for the average joe. for high performance driving the gear change is at the bottom of the skill requirement because there are so many other things going on that deserve more focus. whether you step on a clutch or flick a paddle is not what's important.
