Yes, it is my opinion. And I'll still stick withthe same commentary. No left pedal and it's an automatic. All the same as far as I am concerned. They have no value to me. And I have no desire to own one in a sports can. Ever.

Another good way to beat up on the internals. You can do it, but I doubt if anyone would agree it is a good idea for a longe term practice. But what you do with your vechiles is your business. I would not treat a fine motorcycle like my last few BMW's that way.
If I were racing and had the financing and tech team to go with a teardown and repalcement after each race then sure. It's all about the win. But for my personal vehicles and equipment, I treat them better than that.
I will not be purchasing a new(er) model Porsche with an automatic. It's a preferance. As I stated, if it is an automatic, there just is no interaction and fun for me to be behind the wheel. It's just transportation. I can buy that from anyone.
