Thing really suppose to handle. Also 6sp FTL. MDCT is where it now man. What did you expect like a Str8 line performance of a Vette.

Who said anything about Corvettes? And I don't think cares that much about straight line speed...look at his sigWhat I took from it is that it feels like a pig to drive.
x2. I could never be happy without, I don't care if it's faster.
To all motor, Take some notes from Christian. He knows how to attack.

That is a fantastic way to lose any credibility on an automotive forum. I don't give two shits if they use that crap in F1 or not. Any true enthusiast would take three pedals over two any day. There is a reason it is called the man pedal. The only reason to get a performance car with a dual clutch transmission is if it is going to be a track car where never ever making a mistake shifting counts. Or if your a complete cock bag....
Do you really think havign a manual car makes you more of a man..because that is what seemed implied by your post?
Paddle shifting can be just as fun, as long as the driver controls when the car shifts I do not see the difference in throwing a lever around on your center console, or your steering wheel.
Sorry I didn't know you were a chick. I usually don't talk to women that way.
I bet this guy has an automatic
New car:
95 S14 with RB25DET (stock boost)
Old car:
Turbo S2000 400hp/285tq on 9:1 comp & 11psi
Your the type of people that make me wish I never own a 240sx or anything nissan at all. Dude read what the fuck you said, Manuel is going out and DCT is coming in. Basically a I heard was man if anything make a car easier to drive then it make you a chick.
I agree with you. How does driving a manual make you more of a man, or some race car driver? Like all these people with stockish civics that HAVE to get a manual. I mean c'mon, it doesn't make you or the car any cooler. Paddle shifters are where it's at, especially on really expensive cars where the shifters shift faster than anyone driving a stick.
Yea man, I am tired of all of this racer manuel crap. lol
Yea, I mean my car is a stick because it was only made with a 6-spd, but I would prefer a double clutch paddle shifter system over it any day of the week.
I owned my first 240 before you knew what one was kid. I have owned 8 Nissans and was a Nissan technician for a while. You can take your ignorant holier than thou comments a use them to clean the sand out of your vagina.

Ok and how is that suppose to effect me. lol. Why does that matter. LOL
Allow me to voice my opinion here.
I drive a conventional manual car. I do like it, but that's probably mostly due to the way I drive it. I enjoy blasting through mountain roads and taking random drives whenever the mood takes me, and a manual gearbox is great for that. I have been stuck in hours of backed up traffic and driven around slow cities, and I realize there is a time and a place for an automatic or automated manual. It really depends on the kind of driving you do.
I believe I can speak for most of us on the forum when I say that we like to drive fast. Now when it comes to driving fast, you can go old school with the conventional manual gearbox with a clutch pedal and gear shifter or you can make a compromise for daily comfort by opting for something with a torque converter or automated clutch. True, they may not be quite up to the level of driving fun, reliability and fuel economy that conventional manuals provide, but in heavy traffic and daily city driving, I'd much rather have something automatic.
I have never driven a car with a good paddle select system like Audi's or BMW's. It seems like a really intriguing concept to me, and until I get the opportunity to drive it, I can't dismiss those systems as being worse than either a conventional manual or a conventional automatic.
Remember also that everyone is entitled to his own opinion. I don't see how a preference for an automatic loses an individual's credibility in a community. He may well know more about cars than all of us do.
Regarding the new E92 M3, I am a HUGE fan. I am also a HUGE fan of the E36 and E46 models as well. To choose favorites, again, I'd have to drive each one. The M3s in the past have always been about handling, and from what I've read about the new one, things are no different. I'd much rather have a car that handles well than an outright fast car in the straights. But as long as it handles well, it doesn't hurt to have a big engine...
