Looks pretty good, but what the hell were they thinking with the "double stacked exhaust"? :dunno:

Maybe I'm "old school" but I'll always drive a stick shift. Fuck the video game homo shifting.

Well not to that extent. I just like the feeling of having "control" of the car via the gearbox. Taking away the clutch and having little shifters on the steering wheel takes away from the whole "experience".

| It's just like past generations resisting technological changes. These performance gearboxes still let you hold gears like in a regular manual. Too many people confuse them with 'manumatics' which are just a control letting you decide, roughly, when an automatic will shift. |

LOL I know the difference :p
But like I said, it just takes away from the whole driving experience.
I'm sure down the road, they will have new "technology" that will make it possible to shift gears with your mind power. Even though it will be faster than shifting a manual, would shifting a cars gears with your mind be more fun? I don't think it would be...

Driving a gay ass honda with a shifter than 3" long is just as bad as those paddle shifters...
Get an old camaro/cutlass442/corvette/nova/chevelle/malibu/etc with a shifter that's 3 FEET long, and you have to reef it through gears, from first to second is 18 inches in horizontal movement... That's "feeling" your car.

I'm starting to wonder if it's a phallic thing. You guys enjoy grasping a long shaft of another entity and moving it around to get it to do just what you want. :lol:
On topic here, that car sounds fucking incredible. Those engine barks on the downshifts are phenomenal!:bowdown: |
