Who wants a Ferrari that will get outran by a Lambo with a slushbox?I figured that as well. Although driving a manual transmission equipped vehicle seems be much more fun and enjoyable than turning a knob or moving a lever to D and taking off LOL.
Saw a small segment on the Price is Right this morning they were trying to give away a Ferrari but it had a 7 speed automatic transmission...well that's just no fun at all, in a sports car I'd expect a manual LOL. What fun is it to have a fast car if you are stuck with a slush box .
Most of the high end automatics have paddleshifters which makes it kind of arbitrary anyway, it still shifts when you tell it to just faster than a human can shift it and it will never miss a gear.
