It just occurred to me that most "sports" and "exotic" cars these days don't even come in stick
And that makes me sad. Like, I wouldn't even call myself a car enthusiast (they're neat, but I'm not an enthusiast) but even then, shoving some shit like a cvt, dct or the ever so stupidly named "automatic manual" in a car pushing 600 ponies or more is just, silly... Whatever, there's always motorcycles, of which I actually will say I'm an enthusiast.

[spoiler]Seriously, the fact that it's a discount BMW with a Toyota and Supra badge is a joke as it is. The fact that a -blam!-ing Corolla Hatchback (no disrespect to it as I'd actually take one) comes with a proper stick shift is the punchline...[/spoiler]

1 답변Problem is that mere humans can’t shift as quickly or as smoothly as a modern automatic. Shifting through 6-plus gears can get to be a pain over time. The new Corvette has 8 speeds. I’ve had several shift and automatics and both have advantages and drawbacks. In San Fransisco a stick is a nightmare. On a commute an automatic is easier. On a windy road a stick is pure fun.

작성자: Zonda 4/18/2021 1:06:55 PMWe’ve been headed that way for a while now. I don’t have any issues with a good DCT/CVT but the option for H-Pattern/Sequential shifter would be nice. I can’t hate too much on the A90 because end of the day it’s a 3 litre Straight six turbo pushing more than a factory spec 2J - VCT or not. My main beef is the engine itself looks a bit of a pain to do your own work on compared to earlier equivalents, even with more readily available technology at the hands of tuners. Timing chain location in particular looks like absolute cheeks. 90’s JDMs and the like were the way to go until 3-4 years ago when prices went out of control. I’m struggling to keep up with insurance costs on a mid trim 34 GT-T thanks to it being at least 4x the money I paid in 2017 to replace if it gets written off or stolen lmao. Would hate to think what GT-R owners are forced to fork out on insurance these days. I wouldn’t even know what to do if I was looking to get a fun daily in today’s market with the budget I had in 2017, or even justifying the price of such a car if one had the money available. Maybe the other comments are right and bikes are the way to go.

1 답변Automatics aren't popular around my way. They hold no real value either. Get a bike.. A Hyabusa or Fireblade and never look back ;)

1 답변🤔 """Manual""" cvt sounds like an oxymoron but also like a novel idea for EV's. No clutch but can still move up or down. I suppose at the end of the day though, the computer is still determining the gear ratio you shift into though. Meh...........

1 답변I’ll convert you. Search up the Hennison F5 ( not sure I spelt Hennison correctly) Its called the F5 because it reaches the speed of a F5 class tornado. [spoiler]nibbles crayon[/spoiler]
