[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 124866, member: 2"] Here’s an old school thought. I always thought the reason why so many high powered car manufacturers were going to automatics and not selling the manuals anymore is because we have a large generation of guys who grew up racing cars in video games like Grand Turizmo, Forza, etc and never learned how to use their left foot so the manual version just went the way of the video games when people wanted to buy the cars they raced on tv. :D Plus when hp started to really ramp up, clutches couldn’t take the torque so autos were the only choice and people just got used to the idea that you got the auto with the high hp version and now that we can get manuals, people are just used to automatics in everything. :p Launch control would be insane I bet.
