Welcome. Y did u pick the auto???

Well, I chose the auto tranny because I like the paddle shifter idea, and after 35+ years of manual tranny's my left leg really hates SoCal traffic jams.

Another note on the auto tranny - the correct place for your hands to be when doing triple digit speeds really is the steering wheel :-) The paddle shifters are great, the shifts are instantaneous, and as I said my left leg really hates stop and go traffic these days :-)

And yes, even with the tech in the 2011 someone really good with a manual could beat the auto around a racecourse. But then I'm out there for fun :-)

Thanks for the various welcome's. My Stillen parts go on 3/1 as well as Stillen putting my Brey Krause fire extinguisher mount in. Camera mount I'll have to find suitable for that lovely brace behind the seats :-) My Naviguesser is signed up so May SSCC race here I come :-)
