Just because there aren't a crap ton of dampers / noise reduction (queue the weight) insulating, fun sucking, boringness... yea. Okay sure comared to my Dad's 2014 is350 it's night and day (cant' even feel the idle!) Or as you said scared to accelerate lineraly and pushes/pulls back too many times causing a jerky ride? Heck I do it to make sure my GF isn't asleep! 
Seems like people overrate their driving ability and after learning to drive manual I have a great respect for manual drivers. Anyone can drive a straight line, now do those same speeds around a corner with tending to correct gears and VSC off. Then you're really showing your skills.
LOL I try not to rev past 6 too often but once in a spirited moment I do. I tend to rev hard in first (5-5.5ish) and then start shifting until I hit my cruising gear... or depending on my mood sit in first or second because I'm being obnoxious. |
yah, most people can learn to move the car from A to B. that's not MT driving... MT driving takes practice and years of experience before one can say they can really drive MT cars. the SRM on these cars make even a novice drive the car like an enthusiast, but gotta learn how to heel and toe without SRM. people saying heel and toe is for track driving, not for street is also mistaken. i heel and toe my dd every frikken day to work to minimize wear on the brakes, full control of the car at all times.
then these bogus says replacing brake pads is cheaper than clutch.... well if one knowz how to heel and toe, then there wouldnt be much wear on the clutch would there?
dumbarses.
the general public is stupid.
