And if you look at Motortrend best drivers car they awarded the 458 Italia the best drivers car regardless of it being offered with a manual. And Randy Pobst is a professional race car driver who even said he preferred the tranny in the 458 over the manual in the other cars that they tested which included Porsche's(and he loves Porsche's). My point? Not everybody is as close minded as the manual only guys.
