And I have to say that the stupid is strong out there.

Saying you wouldn't buy it because there's no option for a manual transmission is like saying you wouldn't sleep with [hot celebrity] because of [minor flaw]. It's still going to be amazing if you get the chance, and even if it's disappointing, you still get to do something almost nobody gets to do.

You say that like you actually believe the commenter would actually be able to purchase it anyway. Chances are very slim that he would ever be able to afford one. That's just some person trying to rustle some jimmies.

And I'm quite sure the option is there. Money talks after all. Pagani said they would put a manual in their cars - the customer just has to pay for R&D. I'm sure the same goes for Ford.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > Steve is equipped with Electronic Fool Injection 01/12/2015 at 12:46

I see it this way:

In a "performance car", designed to go fast, you will want to be competitive at track days, etc. Modern automatics are faster than equivalent manuals, so that's why they're being used. An example of this is the 911 GT3, or the Z06 with the 8 speed auto.

In a "supercar", sold to really rich people that can't drive well, the automatic makes it easier to drive. An example is the Bugatti Veyron.

In a "sports car", sure you can track it no problem, but having a manual in this car is more fun, and because of the slower speeds, the extra performance is negligible for most people. This would be something like the Toyobaru or a Mustang.

Note: I use the categories loosely, as cars can vary wildly depending on who you are talking to.
