I have no doubt man, and am fully aware the great majority of sports/exotic cars are sold with auto-manual trannies. In fact, 97% of Ferraris made are F1 now, and it was reported the F430 successor won't have a manual anymore , raising that percentage to 100%. But my point is who tracks those cars competitively? I think the reality is people are getting so damn lazy that they don't even want to learn how to drive a manual properly anymore. Or a stick makes it too inconvenient to text while driving. I don't know. I just hope manuals don't disappear, because I have no reason to buy a car like this with DCT, to be honest. Hopefully Porsche will still make manuals when I'm done with my M; that's my next (and probably last) such car. Take care buddy.
