A Porsche GT3 is one of the best track machines around. It can be had with a great auto tranny. There are many awesome "wet dream" trackable cars with autos. This purist thing is just silly. You're driving car with a TON of modern tech. If you really want a purist experience, pick up an old Austin Healy and track that.
What kind of tranny does the new Ford GT carry?
Let's stop this silly "purist" stuff. Purist is manual steering, manual steering, no ABS brakes etc. My 1973 MGB was a more pure than any ZL1 1LE. Many reviews of the 1LE mention that the A10 is a curious, if not downright unfathomable, omission.
MT - "No auto, sorry. Because the 10-speed tranny is supposed to be the quickest way around a racetrack, it’s curious that it’s not offered."
Autoweek - "This leaves us confused as to why that automatic was not made available in this car. Sure, the manual is lighter, but the auto was supposed to be the be-all and end-all of Camaro shifters only a few months ago at the 1LE intro."
Anyway...everyone's entitled to their taste. Adding the A10 isn't going to damage the rep of the 1Le one bit.
