Late '90 GT1 had sequential gear box, is not a "full" manual, you're right, but drivers had to use clutch everytime during changing or shifting! it was a lot more stressfull than actual GTE/GT3 cars where drivers must to use clutch only to restart after a pit stop and to insert R. Don't forget also that nowadays the stick has basicly disappearead and with paddles, drivers never move arms from the steering wheel. About aero, well, the CLK and the 911 GT1 were not less than true prototypes, but we can't compare the old aero quality and downforce amount with the actual racing cars.
