It's an order of magnitude worse when you see a slushbox Miata.

1) Built automatics > manuals in a drag race, where muscle cars are predominate.

2) Automatics are usually cheaper, at least from my understanding with Fords. If I wanted a 4 speed toploader in my '70 Mustang, that would be $800 for the transmission (minimum for one not needing rebuilding), then $150-$250 for the pedal and linkages.

Or, I can spend $75 on a 3 speed FMX and $20-$30 on a shifter.

This is why I support purchasing cars only available in manual. It avoids any confusion.
