Nicely said yourself. All these electronic nannies lull drivers to sleep while dulling their skills at the same time.
I know I can't shift quicker than a Tiptronic or whatever the latest fad is. I also know that the one second per lap advantage they have doesn't make up for the fun I'm having slapping a H-pattern, rev matching and clutch braking.
The latest tech isn't always a great idea.
