Manual any day of the week.

Porsche made this mistake a while back when they stopped putting a manual in the GT3. They said the PDK is the quickest way around a track. They forgot to ask the question, "Does the ultimate lap time matter to the buyer or is it driver involvement."

We see plenty of noobs on forums, IG and Twitter quickly dissing the manual because the flappy paddle it "quicker" around the track. I usually pose the challenge to them - put me in a car with a manual and you can drive your flappy paddle and we'll see who's quicker around a track. 90% of speed is driver mod.

A manual 458 would be epic in every way. Glad someone is doing it.
