Rpm counter shows RS4

I much prefer the control of a clutch pedal.

And I hate seeing only two pedals on the floor.

And I hate not having the ability to skip gears.

And I hate not being able to get into neutral easily.

And it's more fulfilling and enjoyable with the good ol' 3 pedals and shift knob. How can you not enjoy engaging the cogs?

Really? RS4? i thought this is an R8.

autos handle loads more torque. hence why you won't find a manual in any high power mercedes. they can't make one to handle 739 lb/ft of torque. and that's limited!

why does the dash have the letters "IS-4" or "RS-4"?

[ScLeCo]

There is a reason the flappy paddle transmissions are used on F1 race cars and most high end exotics that produce a LOT of HP and TQ. It's because the can shift faster and more consistently than any human ever could. They allow all the torque and horse power to be used. and all of the gears to be used and selected to full extent. You an an ignorant moron go drive your truck off a cliff. Douche bag.

A manual transmission allows more torque, and horsepower to be delivered, it gives the driver full control over how he/she decelerates, and allows each speed to be used to its full extent

one example, I bought a pickup recently (manual) and decided to go through the manual; the max. load for the box is 2000lb with auto; with manual it's 3500

many other of the figures looked the same that was the most significant

Ah thats true, but i just find something more endearing about this whole electronic paddle shift system it kinda shows that your ride is just that extra notch more exotic. Theres just something thats always captured me about owning a car with paddleshifters that can do the shifting for you quickly and easily with just the movement of a finger.

so tell me why cvts don't win races. u know how much that system weighs?

[Brianistheman03]
