I've noticed that vette owners will not look at anyone unless they are in a vette. They are great cars but honestly, they do absolutely nothing for me as far as looks go. That and I see vettes everywhere, Z06's as well. Like you said...with any car there are fanboys so, I try my best to avoid those types. No car is perfect!

I had enough and sold the car...and on a good note ended up with quite a bit in my pocket since I sold it for what I bought it for new :tup:

I am happy that for the most part the import scene has calmed down but at one point I will admit that it was pretty entertaining.
:shakes head: makes me so sad...

And then I remember that like, 50-60% of Vettes are auto's anyway. Their opinion is invalid.

Zl1
 
Ford just needs to spend the same resources on handling and an IRS as they did on that amazing engine and the GT500 will not only beat the ZL1 but also match the ZR1! For now, it does not match the ZL1 and I even think the Boss 302 is better; due to its balance.

Your first post is in a muscle car topic on a 370z forum and you drive a Mazda? What were you doing just now?

(No offense meant just curious)

IRS is already slated for the 2015 model. Full ground up rebuild of the 'Stang.

The majority of automobiles are autotragic transmissions these days. There are plenty of reasons why, some very valid (medical conditions, beastly commutes), others very weaksauce (I don't wanna learn manual boohoo).

Ferrari and Lambo no longer produce manual vehicles. Of course, that's because the hyper rich only want the appearance of speed and the fastest available.

Most of the Mustang GT's I find on lots are autos. It's just a sign of the times. Most drivers don't appreciate the added control and involvement of rowing the gears yourself. It's a shame, because it's really fun and safer imo.

Is definitely safer, i don't know about you but I find it pretty difficult to talk on a cell phone and shifting at the same time so I never do it. You also have to pay more attention to what you are doing. So it's a win win situation except for the fact that people are lazy

The safety issue, imo, is more about subtle things. Your throttle cable snaps (or gas pedal gets stuck). Manual drivers are much more prone to respond in the correct manner and pull the car out of gear, since gear is more often in their mind. Auto drivers? Well, ask Toyota.

Very true!
