I think a lot of people think because the new automatics shift so much faster, they're always going to beat a manual. Not around a track with a good driver. The autos may shift up fast, but when you need a lot of up and downshifts, the autos are too slow to react or won't hold onto the gear you want, in addition to the heat issues.

I understand the preference, just calling the troll out for misquoting Tadge.
