I’m pretty good at driving manual at the strip, both launching and shifting. But if I was on a road course/auto x course I wouldn’t have the slightest clue what to do. Although I have no interest whatsoever in those sports so it doesn’t matter. The only reason my Camaro is 6 speed and not auto is that I got a good deal on this car and it’s almost showroom clean. I voted for “Yes I can. but prefer not to.”

I have never tried heel toe or really any performance oriented downshifting. I’d like to learn at some point but i’d much rather have some sort of manual sequential where I just don’t have to worry about it.
