So I would say that auto superiority has been a long time happening. It's just manual heads are NOW FINALLY beginning to accept that manuals might be more fun.... I'll give you that. But have been honestly the inferior transmission for a decade. There's just no argument to that...
That said, I think it's AMAZING that Porsche did make a row your own in the GT-3. Cuz the 911R is freakin pricey.

I agree on that the auto is now more better (pun intended) but it has an evolution of things. The old autos were not reliable and putting high horsepower to them ended badly. Those issues were a lot less for a manual. What cracks up is the all the talk about having to row gears on a manual versus an auto...it's the same but different lol!
