Fair enough but doesn’t explain no MT cars for 500 miles of houston. I’m not expecting 20 86s sitting on every dealer lot but something has to be up as supply chain issues have clearly eased off.

Isn’t this an issue of needing to shift to 3rd to hit 100kph? Another shift will cost you one sec for sure. I think the twins can just barely hit 60mph in two shifts right?

Don’t underestimate the potential of a 30ft lb bump in torque, revised gearing and a flatter torque curve on acceleration. Ask BMW about how average power wins races.
