i wouldnt want to see manuals go away, but i also dont want to see automanual tech stay stagnant because closed minded people dont see them as sportscar worthy.

I was on the track with both of them and yes I agree on the track you have other things to worry about but it still just doesn't feel like I am doing the driving. I think it would take more skill as a driver to shift myself while racing on the track rather than a flick of a paddle, we all know the only reason why cars are moving to paddle automanual is because they can shift faster than a human thus they can advertise the car as being faster (deff helps sell a supercar plus opens up the market to more buyers) but it should wasn't more engaging. I was in Vegas when I drove those cars and yet I have more fun driving around my local track tho it wasn't nearly as fast, or cool but it was deff more fun to shift yourself IMO.
