Auto or manual?

I think the wheels would look better in black with a really bright color like that, but sweet ride They're heavy cars and not really my style but if I had a ton of money to throw away I'd buy one as a collector's car, I think they'll be worth a lot someday. The exhaust note is incredible, I remember some guy downshifting and accelerating onto the highway next to me in his M3 and the sound gave me the shivers.

The only problem with the 6 speed is the long clutch travel, and the loooooooong ass throws... but it's damn fun

Once you drive a double clutch you quickly realize there is no comparison. Shifts are smooth and insanely fast. There is no way I could match the shifts personally. I didn't buy the car to drift, though it may see a time attack or two throughout its life.

I would be fine with a manual in this car, but I feel like the double clutch is superior.

I always felt that way...but my buddy said I was crazy.

Glad to see someone else got that feeling from it (long throws and long clutch).

And yeah...was still fun!
