Exactly, everyone will enjoy their choice, so don't chastise the folks that love extreme performance and opt for manual.
I can sign off right now that I won't be able to shift in 4ms or whatever it ends up being, but damnit, I will feel like the king of the world rowing those gears.
I have modded my Maxima to the available limit, bolt-ons, because I want go as fast as possible, and I rock an auto. Just didn't get the 6-speed.
Being performance oriented isn't just about utlizing a tranny that shifts ms faster.
