True, but (speaking only for myself) in a performance car I still desire a manual over an automatic, and always will. Sure automatics have come a long way, but there's still something about rowing your own gears - maybe it's the illusion of control, I dunno, but manuals definitely add to the "fun" factor. Plus manuals are cheaper than automatics (in most cases, I actually had to pay extra for it in my GTO, go figure), and gas mileage is always better too - something that can't be discounted in these days of near-$3 and up for a gallon for gas.
