[DeTomaso] Is the manual shift dead?

[Charles McCall]

What say we?

As the article finishes, "Three pedals, good. Two pedals, bad"

The only automatic I've ever owned was a 1987 Ford Crown Vic ex-Cook County
(Chicago) cop car that I bought at an auction for $350. 

(Loved that car!) 

I suppose that the gist of the article is right - if you make money racing,
the fastest way around a track is paddles. But many enthusiasts will prefer
the manual for the enjoyment of it..

According to some wanker at Autocar, the manual shift transmission is dead!

What say ye?  If you bought a new car, would it be the floppy paddles or the
real man's stick shift?

Kirby?  The new silver bullet IS a six speed, right?

30 gears in the driveway, and counting . . . .
