Sure, all that uncertainty about when it's going to shift must really add to the adventure of driving. And rowing a Rogerbox to get it to comply reminds me of the various joystick combinations you use to unlock Easter eggs in Super Mario Bros. I'll take my pudding stirrred, thanks.

Once upon a time, Porsche produced two 928s, one with a 5-speed, and one with a Rogerbox. They measured them, and found the Rogerbox was too heavy and too slow.
So they made the engine bigger, and gave the Rogerbox another gear. But it was still too heavy and too slow.
So they tried again. But it was still too heavy and too slow
And again, but still:
And- well, you know.
So finally, in 1989, they stopped publishing performance specs for Rogerbox 928s altogether, because Dentist's wives don't read the performance specs anyway.

^^ Manual shift times are also accounting for perfect shifts every time shifting at optimal RPMs. So in the real world the performance difference is negligible.
The auto boxes are consistent in the times they produce so long as your foot is always planted to the floor. They just work, and work well.
