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!

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.

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. |

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.
