Re: Brag: G37
 

very nice Nat

and as for automatic vs manual, both of my parents drove automatic so I don't know how to drive manual so I bought an automatic and I think it's plenty of fun to drive, but I don't really know anything about manual besides that I tried to learn in 15 minutes when I was looking at cars and it was hard.

Re: Brag: G37
 

it's pretty easy, i've taught 20+ people to drive manual and most of them get it w/in 20 min or so. the only tricky thing is starting on an uphill (since you live in ithaca that could get dicey).

What color is that? Black Obsidian?

It's Blue Slate. The car looks a lot more gray in the pics than it is. I think most people would say it is blue when they see it in person. But it's both blue and gray, depending on the light.

Beat: a female friend of mine thought it was purple. Ego went poof.

people 2 doors might look slightly better, but the PITA when you have more than 1 passenger is not worth it IMO

I don't drive more than one other person too often and when I do, it's their problem. Not to be an ass, but I don't buy a 40-something thousand dollar car to make it nice and enjoyable for other people.

That's hot, congrats Nat.

Sick Brag

<3 manuals, nothing comes close..

[/ QUOTE ]

even on sports cars is 8 speed gearboxes and 10k redlines?

i swear to god some people just swear by manuals because they don't know wtf they are talking about (not all people, because they have their place in some cars)

edit: still a sick car

[/ QUOTE ]

There are no sports cars in existance with 8 speed gearboxes and 10k redlines.

There are no race cars in existance with 8 speed auto gearboxes and 10k redlines.

There are no race cars in existance with auto gearboxes unless there is a specific racing class specifically for auto boxes.

Quite a few drag cars use autos, the 911 turbo is actually faster to 60 with a tiptronic
That said, I'm a manual trans fan myself. Its more a question of feel and fun, you're more connected to the car when you row your own gears.

Re: Brag: G37
 

I might be able to get off the line faster with the paddle shifters on the G37 automatic. At least until I really get to know the clutch well. But like you said, that probably isn't the most important thing, it's more about having fun driving.

It's the same reason why I wouldn't get an SMG M3 if I could get a manual. Sure the SMG is faster, but it's less fun AFAIK (tried it once).
