I think lots of Porsche enthusiasts will miss having a stick shift in their ultimate street sports car, since they offered it in all their cars for the past 60 years or so. Except maybe those who can't drive a stick, are lazy, or anyone who thinks performance numbers are everything for amateur drivers on the street. If that's the case, a few hot rod Fords and Mustangs can do a similar job for half the price or less. A tape measure or ruler is even less money for those types
