AT's downshift also & hold higher performance shift ratios than MT's, check out F1's or A-Burners. I have made a few (2) runs at GMR as of late, no more for me, that clip showed very very tame encounters compared to the last two runs I went on, and I'm sure many more have seen worse. The basic reason for their wonder driving is, THEY CANT DRIVE WHAT THEY HAVE, A Prius in the #4 lane on flat land at 55-mph is the option for those wonder drivers.

Take care,

Default No upset.

Just data, it's all in how you intake the data, if it bothers a soul then reflect inward or express. Sorry about the xxxxx that was to withdraw the original recipient note which I had entered to the wrong address. I did resend the comment to the correct address. Clear as mud?

Take care.

Hey now, mine would have gotten around just fine. It's GM that has trouble with the whole concept of things other than straight lines.

Having a douche in the driver's seat doesn't help matters either. I feel bad for those motorcycle guys. But that was definitely a bad place for them to park. I would have parked closer to the center of the corner where it would be least likely for some douche to spin off and hit me.

I didn't catch whether or not the GTO driver stuck around. Looks like he just took off. imo that was the biggest douche move of all.

It looked like he was thinking about just bailing but then you could see he stopped. If he left the scene he would have been in bigger sh!t because they caught him on video.
