I never use the SRM. I've been heel and toeing for so long I just do it automatically so when I had the SRM on the revs were all over the place because the car and I were both trying to match revs....

Exactly. They might not want to admit it, but people seem to choose the AT because the can't or don't want to use a clutch pedal. I also don't buy the idea that a stick is a pain in traffic. I...

I could give a crap about HP and lap times. I love a manual because it is just more fun to drive. Simple as that. I like having both hands and feet involved with controlling the car. As I...

I had the exact same BMW experience....hated that SMG paddle shifting piece of crap. I don't know what I was thinking. So glad to be back to a real manual transmission. BMWs might be the...
