I agree with you on the wanting the experience and feeling that you get when YOU accomplish the faster lap times via more seat time. Making the car more user friendly will likely net more sales, but you wont get gushing reviews about it like the new GT4 gets. Then it kind of gets the weird status of being a bit boring instead of being something you want to own.

It's the same reason I would never own a GTR. Incredibly capable car...but anyone who is breathing can repeat the same drag strip time as I can. If I'm in the same car as another, I like there to be a driver skill advantage. Of course a track/road course is different, but as I said earlier, honing my own skills since I'm paying for every aspect of the experience is paramount to me...and I want as little computer intervention as possible.
Having said ALL that, I have put my money where my mouth is. I own two sports cars, neither have ABS, neither have traction control, both are manual transmissions. The next one may come with a bit more computer controlled suspension and brakes, that's as far as I'm willing to go.
