My only beef with an automatic is that now everybody can do what I can. A very good manual car driver will have a big advantage against his competition. With an automatic, everybody can floor the pedal

Tune the shift speeds to be faster w uprev and swap the up/down pins so it operates like a proper sequential shiftier -- between those changes and the paddles you will not miss having an extra pedal to operate.

That's why I love manuals! Dying breed so I may have to keep this Z forever!

If I only had one car I would get an auto though. Driving a manual in traffic is tedious and I wouldn't want to do that every day.
