Also, we're talking street cars here. Not race cars.

I was just pointing out race cars and there sequential. Most state ALL non manual trannies are crap.

. I just disagree is all.

I fail to see how Mr. Noriega has anything to do with this topic.

iPad auto correct fail. Sorry.

I've been told he likes flappy paddles as well

I really think everyone needs to spend 10 laps in a F1 car at their favorite track and then 10 laps in their fav 6 speed. I LOVE MY 6 speeds but I love my F1's as well. I believe many would change their feelings.

I've not driven the new Turbo S Porsche mainly because I am not a Turbo fan but are you kidding me Sub 3 second 60mph sprints. WOW just WOW is that stupid fast.

Good for you. Here's a cookie:

Now that the universe has shifted back from it's rotation around you to it's normal state, we can see that I didn't call you, or even this thread, out specifically.

PorscheAudi has a reputation beyond repute

it took you all night to come up with a picture of a cookie. Very original. Anyone interpreting what I said as bragging has some serious comprehension problems. You made a statement that those of us that were upset about the 458 are "keyboard jockeys" who have never driven said cars. I simply corrected you.

However, if the offer for a cookie is on the table, I am starving and those chocolate chips looks delicious

So awesome. I want to drive one?
