Before, at the bare minimum you had to learn to drive a stick shift pretty well, or prepare to be embarrassed by your lack of skill. Cars like the Carrera GT had punishing manual transmissions and clutches. I liked that exclusivity it gave those kind of cars. You want to drive the fastest cars with the most horsepower? Better learn to drive them at least. Now we are going to see rich f*cks who don't give a shit about driving in a GT3 and 458 Italia, etc.   |
I hate it too. Certain cars were always offered in manual only. I loved that exclusivity because it always weeded out the status guys that cant drive or dont want to drive stick. Now, almost all the cars are offered in auto/DCT. Thank God Ford didnt put an auto in the GT350.
