Exactly! And while we're on the "stick" issue....you will notice that some of the fastest times achieved with the 135 have been with an "automatic". I have owned several "performance" cars with 4, 5 and 6 speeds, the most recent being a 350z. All were fun, but to be totally honest, the shifting became tedious at times. Now I realize that I'm somewhat older than the majority of the 1Addicts members, so please do not take offense. I like acceleration, but unless you are extreamly good with a stick (especially a 6 speed), an "auto" will win the 0-60 contest. First gear in a 6 speed is for the most part a "creeper" gear and you better be out of it in a nano-second. Some will disagree, but the majority of us are only great shifters in our mind (and some are damn good). Again, please don't take offense but I'm getting a little tired of the assumption that stick is always the best.
