The 6MT is the "fun nostalgia" version but as the quick winning competition car, that ended for the manual transmission in the 1960/1970's Muscle Car Era.
I agree with most of what you said except the manual was the better performance option until at least the 90s.

If you want the best numbers, an auto is the only way to go now.
