Gotta remember after launching.. You don't have to worry about a mis shift, a botched downshift, a missed heal toe, and the gear ratio is almost the same.. Better through the corners if you have to shift as there is no weight transfer.. You knock the auto, but it will surprise you

I'm sure the auto in this car is great, the engineers did a hell of a job on everything else... But I didn't really buy the car to be a track monster (I would have bought the Mustang GT or 370z if I wanted to go fast around a track) I bought it for "dat feelz" and as far as I'm concerned you just don't get that in a slushbox.
