This has to be meant to be a little facetious. A PDK GT3 or a 458 Speciale is not a real car? |
Not facetious. I learned to drive on a manual, and have mostly owned manual transmission cars. To me, driving an automatic is like playing a video game. Gas - go, break - stop, wheel - steer. Real cars require real control of the engine and the only thing that truly gives a driver control of the engine is the clutch. I am buying the M3 with the manual transmission. To argue that the automatic has "more power" is true, but an argument that falls flat with me because the "more power" is not controlled by the driver. |
That's an incredibly juvenile opinion and you don't need to be quite so proud of yourself for learning to drive stick.
Signed: someone who learned to drive manual and owns a manual, a DCT, and an automatic for different reasons.
