There you go, its really not all that big a deal this CSC issue.

Also, 6MT driving makes girls panties wet. No girl will ever tell you 7AT boys "Thats so hot, I wanna learn how to ride stick sometime"...."Sure, I'll teach ya"...

what boasting? never said i'm an ace on a track. my arguments have been strictly transmission based lol

someone seems a little butthurt.

so who's your pitt friend? if they go to the track or do any events around here i probably know them.

He's a hero is his own mind

Sorry, not updated location. I was in turkey the year before last year; for a year. That's why I sold my Z, I didn't want to take it there. Now I've been in Germany for the last year with 2 more.

He just moved up there. Drives a white 7AT with TX plates and runs HKS exhaust. Looks stock. That should give you a run for your money. "I've never been beat by another N/A"

And no one is butthurt. Just doing exactly what you're doing on here. At the end of the day, the 7AT requires no balls to drive, considering my mom drives one.

You don't have the mental capacity to tell your feet and hand to move in a specific order. Instead you have to rely on a computer to talk to the transmission...Stephen Hawking style.

It's okay though. No one faults you for that.

My wife prefers AT over MT

haven't seen it yet and if it's just exhaust i'm not worried about it.

i know your mom drives one

and i love how because i don't like manual transmission then by default "i don't know how to drive one" yet i just got rid of a MT M3 not too long ago as well as having multiple other cars throughout my life that were manuals.

also my hand/feet coordination is pretty damn good since I've played drums since i was in 5th grade so that point of yours is wrong as well

How did I get pulled into Presto's BS? I have always been and will always remain a MT guy. Sports cars should not come with AT.

As for the track we could run around the track but we're both MT and I'm far from a bolt on G.
