I would think it would make more difference on a car that is being bought to be driven. If its a show car that will rarely (or never) see street use, and only be driven in and out of a box trailer, it seems silly to pay 1000s and 1000s of dollars more for a 4 gear, now if you're buying a car to actually DRIVE, then yes, i could justify spending the extra cake for it. Personally, I prefer manual trannys, but I also know of some pretty bad assed automatic supercars, and don't consider them to be worth far less than if they were 4 speeds.
