I think that we need to remember that a lot of the young folks regard the fact that everything is computer controlled to be a bonus - it's what they understand. I've had the experience of rejetting a set of Webers on a friends's 1969 BMW 2002 race car in the paddock, and having a group of 20 something racers wondering what the heck we were doing.
They expect something where you can go to a computer interface and explicitly set parameters, rather than the pretty inexact "fiddle and try" approach to mechanical systems. I completely agree that most modern cars are boring, isolating, fat and dull. But the problem is our demand that we be endlessly protected from our own stupidity and sloth, without having to participate actively. Until that attitude dies, we'll be given rolling bank vaults. Or, we'll build Sevens.....
