To the directly above... torque converter = power loss, but 400, 500, or 600+ HP = who cares. RWD = power loss, but FWD = unusable power. How much power is lost through a RWD setup anyway? I suspect that on a modern car there is very little difference.
Easy answer. No. To the question at hand. Drivers drive. Enthusiasts point.
Nope. Automatics kill your fun and dual clutch trannies (trust me, I know) are no equivalent to the experience and simple joy you get with three pedals.
