Good for you Dezoris. I'm planning a trip up to Oregon to test one but think it unlikely that I'll buy. Mostly it's because I don't track enough and I use my S for a daily. I fear I couldn't justify 2 2 seater.

I don't agree with the last part. Maybe it's just me, but anything with a slushbox is excluded from the "sports car" category.
It's a looming fact that newer higher end sports cars are going with automatic transmissions, most have electronic clutches but still they are autos.

Look no further than the German cars for this.

An electronic clutch SMT is one thing, but a true automatic (torque converter and all)...
