Automatic vs Manual

1️⃣Let’s assume that money is not a limiting factor.

2️⃣Let’s assume that the purpose of the car would be to build a decent track car for an amateur track racing enthusiast, not a pro. Not interested in milking hundredths of seconds.

3️⃣Let’s also assume that the driver learned and drove almost all his life with a stick shift and does not have a specific passion for the manual gear and the clutch anymore. He already burned that phase.

Would you go with a manual vs automatic transmission for that platform conversion into a decent Sunday track car?
