I recently bought a great sports car. I went to look at countless cars only to find paddles and (or) all wheel drive. It takes the driver out of the equation. I must have a proper 6 (or 7) speed driving the rear wheels. I feel connected. All paddled shifted cars are not equal. The true dual manual gearboxes with dual electronic clutches are far & few between. Oh, I love the orange on that Z06.
How many manual transmission cars in Indy 500 or any other race trac? If you answered zero you were correct... Your legs can't compete with the paddles in modern days. My manual tranny was removed and placed right next to the 8track player 6ft under cause they both weren't good enough for the Smithsonian.
@diablowrathltd the significant bit youre looking for is that a DSG transmission has clutches like a stick shift and a traditional piece of shit auto has a torque converter that eats power and shits it out in a bucket. btw gt2 and gt3 are stick shift cars, standard.
Why do so many people hate on Automatics ? Like seriously ? Yea, they're more fun to play with when you want to .... but for your daily driver, it gets old really quick. Plus if it's a 08 Vette or higher then its gonna have the Paddle shift anyways so you technically have your manual while not changing when you dont want to. So stop leaving comments hating on autos and just enjoy the damn video.
@mcbrown36 you sound like such a pussy. driving stick is for real drivers. period. If it gets "old" to you then your not appreciating your vehicle and the drive itself.
gas it then no gas, clutch, shift, let off the clutch a little give it some gas, not that hard to shift, im 16 and i learned to shift my 06 gt in about 30 min, the day i test drove it.
Actually, put the clutch down, gas it a little bit, till about 4k revs, accelerator down all the way, then let the clutch up whilst your doing this till you get the biting point. Manual is extremely easy, shifting good isn't.
It gets easier to do as time goes on. I was afraid of the power my Camaro has as I had never driven a car that fast before let alone another stick shift car of my own. I can that 'low trac' light going on into 4th gear at 90mph in that bitch now.
I'm not sure if the gearbox in U.S is the same as here, but you drop the clutch hard, push it up out of second and let it move to the centre, then push it up, takes me a few milliseconds to shift now, 5th is harder :P
It totally depends on what your doing with the car, if I were drag racing the car I would get an auto but if I was street racing the car I would stick with a manual. Besides my car with a 4400 stall is still pretty fun on the street.
u must not understand, every Z06 made has a 6 speed in it, and i can see if its an old guy that wants a corvette but isnt looking to race with it to buy an automatic C6 but if your your and at all into speed u should definitly buy a manual, soooo much more fun......04 cobra 550rwhp 536 rwtq
whyyyyy the helllll would u get a z06 in a automatic or even a c6....... if you dont know how to drive a stick learn it takes literly a hour for even a girl to learn
A computer controlling how fast your car goes is no fun dude. I'd def get a manual for more fun. Besides what else are you gonna do with 505 horses haha.
@10spokess also i dont care what the fuck its running in a quarter mile time z06s are sports car not your traditional muscle car. yes thats right think out side the box.. cars are actualy capable for going around corners! which americans always forget about. ( im american my self) whats fun about going fast in a straight line when you could be taking a corner at 100 mph...
@mi3pwns There is a such thing as a auto Z06 ive seen it been in it and driven it... Its not from factory but man its a thing of beauty... think outside the box man its called modding a car... and timmunn1 you know there is a thing called manors and you obviously werent taught that, so its no use retaliating
@unrealjeff jokes on you. keep reading a couple pages down and and youl find i was arguing with a kid who said a automatic would be better. i realise what the title says i have to tell people this 12 times a day.
@timmunn1 It's not about learning how to drive a manual. I've had plenty of manuals and the new A6 is pretty sweet. You're just pissed because someone probably schooled you in a auto, lol
