I agree. Not only skill but patience as well.
I feel like depending on the car you have, there comes a point where it just doesn't make sense to have it in a manual. There's many factors that determine what makes it a sensible buy or not, IMHO.
And i am living with that regret right now with my z06. I got the manual because the 8 speed auto GM put in these cars is garbage. However because i went the manual route, i couldn't/didn't want modify the car the way i really wanted to with these cars. The LT4 is bulletproof and i wanted to explore much more power with this car. But the manual held me back.
Had i went with the auto when i bought the car, my z06 would have close to 1000rwhp right now. And i wasted this opportunity with this platform to do that, because i went for the manual.
