I get the "Oh I like a manual gearbox so I am doing the shifting myself" thing. I get it, I understand. But driving one of the aforementioned gearboxes isn't like driving an auto. They are much faster and leave no room for error. From a racing standpoint I would much rather have one in my car than a manual.
I actually don't care about having a slightly faster time; I care about having fun and enjoying myself. There is NONE of that unless you have a conventional manual. Any retard can flick paddles on a steering wheel or just plant their right foot down and steer. That's just not fun, even if it's faster and more consistent (which I realize it can be in some cars).
