I've been a car guy all my life, there's pictures of me age 3 hooning around the yard in pretend cars. I sat through 6 hours of the bathurst 1000 from age 6. I love cars and I love driving and I love the sound and I love a revvy engine.
As I hit middle age I searched for a sportscar to scratch an itch, it absolutely had to be naturally aspirated and it absolutely had to be RWD, but I have never been all that bothered by how I shift gears, so long as I can select the one I want. There are guys in my 997 whattsapp chat or on Rennlist or BAt or whatever who swear u and down it's only a real sports car if it's a manual..... then I look at their profile and they have a C4S. At least with a modern auto I can still select my gears, but an awd is an awd, i don't get the hate for one and the acceptance for the other, it has become a meme.
I just don't care.
