Oh yeah for sure. Never been. You caught me. 10 minutes ago, Rigid1 said: Most definitely the auto paddle shifters are faster, but in a true drivers car I want RWD, 3 pedals, and a 5 or 6 speed stick. Some people need the electronic assists in the modern cars for help and that's fine. While I share your sentiment, and like the 6 speed manual a LOT, a 10 speed auto car is faster in pretty much every test. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag6240 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 There’s always someone faster - and from a pure punch it standpoint the modern autos are most certainly faster. Those Tesla Plaid’s are crazy and I’m sure electric will continue to evolve. But for a daily driver, to me, nothing is more engaging than a manual. So much fun to me - personal preference. I don’t need or want all the fancy electronics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an amazing car I do, but it is the 5th for the dealership which makes it a year out if not more I am going to upsize the squirrel cages in my S6 for now which will make it faster so it is possible I won't take final delivery although that coincides with the timing for my next company car.

Angry ginger Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 would be better with a dual clutch being available over the 10spd IMO but awesome car for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been thinking about a c4 auto for the 67 and trading the 2012. after driving a couple DCT's i really have seen the light on them being the best of both worlds.

I really enjoy the one in my car. I can pick any gear at any time and it is wicked fast at shifting. Saves me from having to have a truck as well since my wife can drive the car and I can take her rig at anytime. Manuals are more fun in some ways, but the biggest thing really is being able to pick the gear you want when you want it and while automatics have gotten better DCT's are wicked fast and allow that to work really well.

Ha, I've done that in my Escalade although it was just an S4. I had the sled trailer with 2 sleds in it...but it wasn't anywhere near that close I walloped him. Guy was shocked.

Cold War Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Just put this one back together. Nice car….too much shit on it. I know people like all that, but I find it annoying. Seat is vibrating , throwing the parking brake on when you are backing up. Ill drive myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaks me out. 😂 All that stuff is great until it stops working. I had a mirror on back seat and the car was freaking out when I got out. Something was getting left behind.
