Thumbs down Steptronic 135i Track Day

Hey Guys,

I had a track day yesterday (not in the 1M). I have yet to drive the 1M on the track. I took a friends 135i out for a spin and it was my first experience with a Steptronic. And it sucked! I couldn't trust the car at all. And I had no Idea what gear I was in. I felt disconnected. Then if you mashed the gas it would automatically down shift and it was very unnerving. Yea the car was faster than my 993 but I don't know if I could ever get used to an "automatic". When I drive the 1M on the street I can feel the limits in my seat. This was not the case with the Steptronic again I felt disconnected and don't think I'll ever buy an "Automatic" ever!

What do you guys think? I've herd that this is faster and is the future of motorsport. But for me no thank you.
