Ya really. At least the one I built doesn't. I enjoy driving a manual. I know many don't agree with my view of a street car but to me autos belong in race cars. And to build an auto that can hold up to 1100 hp you lose things like overdrive, which is nice on my 40 mile drive down the highway 3 days a week.
Its your car build it how you want it. Thats what I did.
