I totally agree with this. And I've found my enjoyment for the manual is not just driver involvement with aggressive driving, but just tooling around town, it just makes it more interesting. When I had my C6 Corvette, I really enjoyed going 3/4 throttle in first to about 1k below the red line, then taking a sort of slow shift into the second and blasting away from there.
