[QUOTE="TFStang, post: 15607052, member: 72692"] Couldn't agree more. While I can appreciate a fast "true" manual, it seems to me the younger generation could care less about the things that I or people close to my age appreciate in cars. They are more interested in electronics, fashion and pretty much everything but cars. It is refreshing to see a younger person actually admire a car and inquire about a car as it is a rare thing these days. All the car shows I go to are mainly filled with people my age or older, a few slightly younger, but the 13 - 18 year olds are for the most part not interested. At least not like I was when I was that age. I am saddened by the future of the automobile. I can't ever see myself in a "high performance" electric car. I know they are crazy fast and that is the future, but there is something so special about big power and a manual transmission. I just bought a 2017 Viper GTS-R and plan on keeping this car for a very long time if not forever as I think this car represents the last of what I have always appreciated in cars. I can tell you that when I showed the car to my 14 year old nephew, he was more impressed with the computer screen and gadgetry than with the car itself, which was funny, because that is the exact opposite for me. I think the hobby has changed and will continue to do so moving forward. Not sure what the future holds, but I know I will continue to enjoy every mile I spend behind the wheel of my gas powered (guzzling), manual transmission American brute force machines. [/QUOTE]
