Miller Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I've driven 8 sec. GTRs that your grandma can literally make an 8 second pass in. The Technology is great. The easy and repeatability are nuts. The visceral experience is severely lacking. The Sketch factor was negative 7. If you want a video game car, play a video game. If you want to have a real experience when your driving your internal combustion vehicle- keep the man pedal. Hahaha. When Jones had a gtr we used to call it the "game genie". Rustled him something awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I was going to write in this thread with all the hallmark holidays that exist "why isn't there a manual transmission appreciation day?" and shouldn't we start one... ...Then I realized, when you drive stick - every day is manual trans appreciation day.

Draco-REX Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hmm. Manuals are far better for the driving experience. That said, when the Lotus sells, I'll only have 2-pedal cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 You gotta weigh, what do I care about more when it comes to "fun" Going a half a second faster through the 1/4 the few times a year you go, or at all or having something fun to drive almost every weekend?

DKilbourne Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 You gotta weigh, what do I care about more when it comes to "fun" Going a half a second faster through the 1/4 the few times a year you go, or at all or having something fun to drive almost every weekend? Or learn to bang gears and not be half a second slower....or just "roll from 60" :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hahaha. When Jones had a gtr we used to call it the "game genie". Rustled him something awful. I'll admit they are AWESOME cars. Great engines- and when modified, likely the best transmission on the planet. Also you can THROW, and I mean throw the thing intot turn 4 at Mid Ohio in a fashion that would have nay other car buried in China Beach, and it just "figures it out". There absolutely is a place for that. But a "safeties off" car with a true manual is just so much more enjoyable. A good example was my old CTS-V. I powersid' that car at minimum 3 times on the way to and from work every day. And I mean, EVERY day. Put a smile on my face every time.
