Anyone who has had auto AND manual?

I had a 2011 LT/RS Auto, I traded it in for a 1SS/RS Manual. I prefer a manual and I would have gotten one on the 2011 had the dealership had a manual car. I like the manual better as I have always hated how the computer has to search for a gear, on any car. Manuals are direct. The only problem I have with the Manual is the Skip Shift and that will be remedied very soon.

The auto was fun especially with the tap shift buttons though.

Ferrari didn't even offer a manual when it released the 458 Italia because their 7-speed dual-clutch auto rev-matches downshifts and shifts gears in just 0.040 second. That is paired with a 9000 rpm redline (9200 rpm limiter). Nobody could shift faster with a manual transmission so they didn't offer one.

What's Manuel's last name? I think I might know him.

Labor. Manuel Labor. I never met the guy.
