Highway

It would be really cool to do some regional meets that were roadster specific. I want to see a picture of 20-50 roadsters.


I just said that cause more enthusiast will buy a manual, where an automatic option allows a more diverse crowd to purchase one. S2k's, WRX's, etc. aren't usually bought by the casual driver, but more of an enthusiast crowd since they're only offered in a manual. But this would also make even less Z's on the road. I would definitely own an auto if I lived in a city like Chicago.

Bummer

I don't know if this late in the year would be a truly good time to start, but I guess it's better than never.

So what do you think, just coffee (as others do - e.g. Chicago), or food? I'd be more than happy to host a M&E at Squealers BBQ. Been there done that with the bike crowd - mmmmm good.


I had the auto in the '11. It was great in casual (rather boring) city driving. On the other hand, it tended to shift slow when I was actually using the paddles and taxing it in the twisties like on the Tail Of The Dragon. I had the dealer look at it - they found no problem. My conclusion is that when you're pushing it, the shifts can be slow.

I got a manual this time. With practice it's unlikely to be any slower than the auto, and operation can be more precise.
