Is that mates rates?
I was just interested in the auto for making my life easier, but still able to have some fun. Most of my life is commuting and the lightweight flywheel and heavy clutch in mine gets annoying sometimes, but hella lot of fun on the twisties. Guess I need to try the auto out in anger to see if its comprimised too much for me for the few days a year I might be out on track. I reckon you could still have fun in the auto which is the main thing, just it wont quite be as quick as the manual.
