They weren't all that uncommon years back. VW also had what they called their
"stick shift automatic." Porsche called theirs "Sport-O-Matic". Richie Genther
(drove for Porsche a number of years) sat in my office on one of his visits and
told me that he actually turned quicker lap times with the Sport-O than he did
with a manual tranny...go figure. He also said he'd never own a Porsche with an
"automatic"!
