With regards to the MT is the way to go - Not if getting the most performance from the car on street or on track is your priority (like it is mine). If manuals are what floats your boat, great. But for a high horsepower engine like this, autos make a lot of sense for many who want engagement beyond 3 pedals and stick.
I have to disagree with that statement. I've tracked plenty of 500+ hp modern cars to know it only takes a skilled driver to put out equal or better lap times out of the manual. Auto makes it easier but it has its downsides - heavier rotating mass at all times, more stuff to break, overheating etc.

If it were M-DCT instead I would agree with your statement, but not with the ZF8.
