Depends on the car. Try a decent sports car with a performance gearbox. My previous car was an m140i. 0-60 for the automatic is actually stated as faster for the automatic gearbox, as the car is better at shifting than a human.

I don’t think Ferrari even make manual gearboxes with clutches any more?

You should try a Tesla. One gear. Is that somehow not a performance gearbox?

The Tesla and the manual have something else in common; braking as soon as you let off the gas (at least if you configure 1 foot driving and downshift driving)
