But (you knew this was coming), the poll is overwhelmingly in favor 2-1 of the 6M/T. I don't think you'd see similar numbers anywhere other than here or exotic car forums.
Me? I still haven't driven an M/T. I ordered based on a lifelong preference for the satisfaction of a properly timed and executed heel-toe rev matched downshift that I figure will be often given the torque curve of the FA-20. And my plan to autocross and track the car where it's all about control and eliminating variables like unexpected gearshifts selected by a computer.
Tough call since the A/T is so impressive, but hopefully the M/T will return as many grins as the test drive car.
Waiting impatiently...

Would it make a difference if I pointed out the fact that 95% of exotics don't have manuals anymore?
