Random question about a swap on a supra - Page 2

I know exactly what you mean. Im a manual trans person... i physically find driving an auto anoying..... yet again... if it sucks my eyes into the back of my head.... im sure i could live with it

yea..like a ferrari...what do you think about the switch shifter things..i guess they are called paddles....they are on the steering wheel and you just hit the one on the right to shift up,,and left to shift down ..like a video game.. lol NFSU2 hahaha

lol that is **** shifting it might as well be an automatic if all you do is push a button.

but it can shift faster than any human could

I hate them because upshifts are jerky and horrible and downshifts are slow and anoying. The only car to rectify the problem is the new Golf GTI because of its twin clutch paddle gearbox. One clutch for 1st - 3 and 5 and one for 2 and 4. That way the next gear can get upto speed and simply engage that clutch and save alot of time... also it sences if you just going to keep going or back off and downshift... so the gear below is always available. Now.... if every car manufacturer took the same aproach i would have no problem driving one. However i still have the problem that i dont have a friggin clutch pedal... i dont like that at all. It makes me nervous to drive something without having total control over the clutch

yea i know what you mean..you do feel like you have more control with a clutch

He isnt even old enought to drive lol (sorry sebba had to say it)

Its cool. I read reviews mostly and ask owners of the cars i see with them. My friend let me drive his M3 with a paddle shift... i hated it.

cuz my father talked to the guy here that used to own the ferrari with that shifting and he said it was amazing how fast it was going between gears

maybe on the up.... but not on the down lol. All of them are different. The worst are Maserati

i drive around my neighboorhood..lol but no i haven't driven a ferrari

i'm 16
