Too many electronics on the 34/35 oh and the 35... theres no ****ing stick option....

If anything I would love to have a 32 GTS-T if not I can settle for a 33 same.


But I'd rather have an 89 Laurel........

No stick option really throws me for a loop.. I don't care if the AT is faster.. I am not drag racing the car. I want a sports car I can control and feel. Ya know?

No just no need, it corrects something you may want. Hence why I'm glad my 05 has none of it.

Have any of you guys driven an R35 or any other car with a REAL "flappy paddle" trans? How about a sequential trans where you don't have to use the clutch to shift?

Maybe I'm getting old, but I personally prefer it to the traditional clutch setup. You get to keep your hands on the wheel which gives you MORE control. Gear changes are seamless which keep the power and chassis loading more consistent, which again, gives you MORE control.

I imagine most people who make these statements have only driven AT cars with "sport shift" options. You really can't compare this to a true electronically controlled clutch trans.
