Stick cars ARE WAY more fun, if your young enough to enjoy the maint. I typically have my converter & Trans looked at every two years. Can't see how that costs more to run than a stick.

Some stick racers make a lot bigger deal out of what they are doing than is real, but I guess it makes them feel good. LOL

I have a lot more stick passes under my (way too long :-) ) belt than in an auto, it ain't that big a deal to drive one. I made a pass in a friend's stick car a few years ago, one pass. About 5 Hun slower than he ran that day, and according to his play back tach hit the shifts pretty close. Surprised us both. They now sure shift easier than I remembered. I am not in any physical shape, nor any longer interested in the maintenance.
