I used to be in that camp too. But once you are getting 0-60 times below 4 seconds, a stick just slows you down. You could never change gears fast enough and you just leave lots of performance on the table.

If throwing a car through its gears is part of the fun for you (it is for me), there are better cars than the C8.

The only bad thing about a Miata is that after driving one, it makes any other gearbox seem worse.

Go drive a Camaro SS 1LE. You will be impressed. Probably the best chassis I have ever driven and a great gear box. The GM Alpha platform is the real deal. Too bad it is so overlooked. Yes it is like sitting in a dungeon and those part of the reviews are spot on but everyone still picks it because its that good to drive.

But with the new engine in the 2019 model, I couldn't resist. Just waiting for a good supercharger tune.

This is the correct color for any Mazda.
