People just don't get it. And most never will since they (and I) will never own one.
Trying to "sell" the auto-gearbox doesn't help and misses the point completely.

The new GT3 is a better car with that gearbox, allowing drivers to go much more the way of a racing driver, faster. Focusing harder on other than shifting.
I hated Schumacher when he said this (but not because of it) but at the time it made me think... It was the 90's and it went something like "yes, not having to manually shift may look like it's easier, but takes nothing away from the driving, the way I see it we will now be able to focus much more on other things". I still can't stand him, but learned soon that he was right. I started to see more "trajectory perfectionism".
This is what the new GT3 represents. Performance and perfection. On the other end of the scale you have the fun and manual GT-86 that does not give a damn about track times.
Chris seems to be in the correct path to see it as well. Maybe on his 2nd drive?
Like the man said "Shut-up and drive it". If you can. Then express an opinion...
