Could Tiger Woods have won so many majors with persimmon and balata balls? Would Jack Nicklaus beat Tiger with today's technology? Times are different and racing technology has evolved. The nice thing is none of us have to worry about that and we have a choice of manual or automatic. Will we have a choice 5 years from now, it will be interesting to see.

I agree, people tend to always romanticize the past. Whether it's football, or racing; "they were real men without all this safety gear", etc. Things have evolved, but there is just as much talent today as "back in the day".

As far as PDK, I will try one before my next purchase, but I love the involvement and challange of working 3 pedals. If I was racing, it would be all about what's faster, and reduces the chance of making mistakes: PDK. One problem I've had in street driving with a loaner Tiptronic is that it's easy to get "lost" as to what gear you are in, and what RPM, if you have the stereo cranked up. With a Manual that doesn't happen.
