Not to mention you need a 13 speed gearbox.

Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.

I would be "The Clumsy." What would you be, @Tcoat?

Ahhh but during this scene you may need a 13 speed gearbox but you only use two of them. Every single shift shown is either straight up or straight down.

I prefer canyon driving. Either you have balls of steel, nerves of steel and good calculations or you don't. Easier to buy $50k 1/4 10sec car, than learn to be in essence with car for canyon.
