I love it when people fall back on this kind of stuff..
Sorry to tell you but your Auto and an Auto in a F1 is so different it's not even funny..
If your car had an electrohydraulic gear system that was worth 10x the price of the car.. then yes, maybe I would like to drive that auto.
We are talking about the difference between a factory auto and a factory manual that "Skylines" came out with. As this is SDU..
This does not include a "modified auto" for drag also, as once again.. this is nothing like your stock Nissan auto.. that is going to last 5 minutes with 300rwkw.
Most of us that are discussing this have our cars as daily drivers, do some track work etc. And most of us are using stock Nissan parts..
For all round performance, that lasts and performs.. the manual is best.
