[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15783365, member: 68944"] Maybe I’m a better driver than I think I am. I think I’m amateur at best, but that said I can comfortably drift stock manual rwd cars, and link corners sideways, I can heel toe down shift 4-5 gears during a panic stop from freeway speed, and I haven’t been in an auto car yet that can drop through 4 gears from freeway speed yet. R8’s, c7 z06’s, etc. I have friends that call me dsg, they make Snapchat vids of me hammering gear changes like it’s a direct shift lever in a race car. I learned to heel toe shift/drive early in my 20’s. I’m 28 now and I can dance a car regardless of it’s drive wheels like it’s a toy. Mid corner manipulations are my favorite part of a manual car without stability nannies. I could see a manual being a bad option for people that don’t want to or can’t do those types of things. For me, driving is a conscious, engaging thrash session that is executed so smoothly/flowingly that it almost seems sublime. Think surfing or aggressive skateboarding. It looks super easy, but it is a decided balancing act. I’m shit in an auto car with stability nannies on/undefeatable and a button handbrake. I look like a fool that can’t find the apex. I have to get used to the grip available and I’m always slow because it’s not how I want to drive. Those cars are safe narrow slow in medium wide out. I like wide medium in fast narrow out skating on the edge of the rumble strip/gore zone. In something I can exploit, I can pitch it in from higher speed, and carry the car through faster by manipulating the weight transfer and engaging a light 4 wheel drift. In cars with nannies, it heavily applies the brake, I wash out of the corner and lose the entire line. Anyways, I’m not saying I’m a wiz or race car driver, but I have a hell of a lot better fun in a manual no nannies car. The auto/nannies thing is like sex with a 6 and rubbers. It’s still sex, but I’m not gonna remember it tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
