I was focused on RPM control, but you're saying there is a loss of power inherent in an automatic. That might be fine for a 500hp Camaro, but you can't really afford power loss at 150hp, right? It sounds like a auto 944 is a slow car, which is ironic, since you're buying a sports car. But, if his main use is driving on highways, maybe it doesn't matter, but at that point, why even bother. Just get an Escalade since it atleast has better A/C and a TV.
