If you are disabled I agree the auto is the way to go but if you are not disabled a manual shifter in a Cobra gives you the whole experiance. Yes an automatic can give faster shifts but IMHO someone who can properly shift a manual and still control the car has more SKILLS. I think those FI drivers are panseys if they cannot perform a basic driving skill anybody raised before 1970 should have.

Now if the driver has some true disability they should allow an auto. Just like I feel golfers with a handicap should have carts...heck give them all carts as to me anybody can walk a course but only true golfers can hit that little white ball where they actually want it.


P.S. as for all the Bimmers with autos I hate them but my wife who can drive a manual in a pinch wants a Z3 with an auto. That is her choice because she does not want to shift in traffic on her drive to work and I agree for a dailey driver an auto is pretty good. A lot of bimmers are go to work in traffic cars so that is why so many autos. I also have a daily driver(F150 supercrew) with an auto and I love it but it is not a sports car. If you have a roadster with an manual it is a sports car but with an auto it is a sporty car.


I need to quit rambling. But to each their own.
