They want to make the car better on a track...not make people like you who never drive this car complain. Top speed doesnt matter as much on a track compared to handling/acceleration. Whats top speed matter if your car cant get there as fast as others?

I have 6spd...I like it, I like getting a feel of the car but I see what they are trying to do.

i didn't say those automated transmissions are shitty, in fact they are wonderful pieces of technology that i admire. what i'm saying is they do not offer the same pleasure and the same driver involvement as a basic manual gearbox. and what does it matter if i'm not driving on a track? driving on the street, going down the highway while banging through the gears can be very fun and pleasurable, even at lower speeds. my point is that they should not eliminate choice. they should offer both options, so that if someone wants the latest high tech go as fast as possible technology, they can get the auto, and if someone wants to have some fun, enjoy a good time, and have some driving pleasure either on the track or around some twisty mountain roads, they can get the manual.
