so was your point to come in and back the manual choice or back your poor taste in vehicles? lol

[Lemers]

Even my Z was a manual when I had it. I think all performance vehicles should offer it.

to counter that i would say they all should offer auto. cayman GT4 had my interest until i read they left their amazing PDK tranny on the shelf for it.

mustang GT350(R) should have a strong auto maybe even DCT option but it's ford soooo that's a given.

manual isn't always better. i feel people just cant/wont admit that its outdated tech.

[Lemers]

It's not dead yet, because it takes a highly engineered and vary tech heavy auto DCT, PDK or what ever other "licensed" transmission they come up with.

Driving aids are usually frowned on by driving enthusiasts. I can see were there thrill in having the car drive itself comes from but it's not for me.

It is outdated tech, I agree. Still, I like shifting and the added tech of SRM works for me. Was watching the Motor Trend Best drivers video and the CTS-V, I think, has a rev kill switch so that you can shift with out lifting the throttle. So if you have rev matching and the throttle kill ... eh? Keeping it is much manual but adding automation. Kinda cool.

Still it was a difficult pick for me. Went with the manual with SRM. If it had been DCT, Ida spent the extra 10K. My wife wouldn't have but I woulda.

neither. it's a generic/comical reference as a comparison.

it was not calling you a a Nazi/Hitler specifically.



manual guys......slow at everything

I see you are from Turkey so I'll help you. Nothing that comes out of Presto's mouth is serious. All of it is to lead you into whatever end joke he has in mind. Sometimes, meaning almost always, they are distasteful but you'll get used to it.

He's a hero is his own mind

[Lemers]

No no no it says hitler right there in your post.

Point???

Manuals, although 'out-dated tech' put down more power as they have less loses thru the train than the shitty slush boxes you have such a difficult time removing your penis from.

in the Z the difference of power loss through the drivetrain is 2-4% difference which in most cases equals 5whp.

so you take the 5hp and i'll not miss a gear, shift faster, have better gearing, and walk on manuals all day.
