Ignore all the hate and all the haters OP. Always shift at redline, whether driving spiritedly or simply driving around town daily. This will ensure maximum performance from sports your car at all times.

Can't really say "why get an AT sports car". High end exotics and sports cars mostly don't have clutch pedals. Fastest drag cars in the world are automatics. Reason? AT's are faster and eliminate human error. Only thing is more parasitic loss through AT, that can be corrected with more powah...

I would say the correct word for AT cars is BORING, not *****

To each his own I guess.
buuuuuttt, all those high end AT exotics have dual clutches so they are always one step ahead kinda deal. but yes AT means less fun.

Don't compare you car's transmission to the transmission of a high end exotic. Simply because you both lack a clutch pedal doesn't make them comparable. They have a dual sequential manual transmission. You have a slush box.
