Depending on the driver, manuals have the potential to shifter harder from gear to gear giving it better acceleration. Automatics are better for massive, smokey, brake torques (unless you're extremely quick with your feet). Manuals can be a lot of fun to drive around with too, as you have total control of the gearbox and big V8's make cool sounds and sensations on the downshift. It's up to you, do you want to learn how to drive a manual? I imagine the clutch is pretty light in that car, so it would probably be easy to learn. Manuals are the 'purist' form of shifting, just make sure you know what you're doing or going to bust up your shiny new car real fast.
