there is nothing else out there for the price of an 86. this car looks awesome. I wish they had it in purple
Not necessarily.. Transmission type has nothing to do with the HPFP chirping. High end Ferrari and lamobs use automated manuals, not slush box types like these cars.
The manuals are fine in these cars , gears can be stiff when cold but work fine at operating temps. The automatics are a good choice as well.. Depends on what you need/want.
