I've been around in IT since its beginning - and maybe Kirk can offer some further insight - but keep in mind both the mindset of "sporty car" Club Racing in 1984 as well as the technology of 60's, 70's, ad 80's automatic transmissions, and I think it's easy to understand why.
After all, how many of you would ever dream of considering an automatic transmission prior to the days of 6-speeds (now 7-speeds!), DSG/SMG, and electronic control...? Even now, despite the advanced technology, I'm guessing you still prefer the good ole stick.
