It was definitely mostly 'Merkin cars and big ol' trucks, but obligatory Jap-Crap (Skyline, WRX, Supra) and exotics (GT40, GT3, LF-A, Konignigseggeggegg) get cameos as well as lots of classics. They even tossed in a few surprise classics from across the pond. Vintage Skyline at the beginning was aces.

http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/258004/ Finally. I've been waiting for a long time to see a manufacture add another gear to a manual. I mean, we have lockouts for reverse, what's stopping them from adding a lockout cruise gear? Horay for more manual shifting!

I expected 7th and reverse to hide on the right behind the same lockout. If it is the PDK trans, I'm assuming they are removing the dual-input shaft nature of it too. Still, can't wait for the details.

Cream_Filling posted:Is the new 3 Coupe also going to get unique sheetmetal from the sedan like last generation? Because the outgoing E92 coupe is in my opinion probably still BMW's best looking car right now. Aren't coupe front ends way different though? You posted one sedan and one coupe. Also, I hate the current coupes. To soft and round. To much like a bar of soap.

Worth noting that some cars have a seperate set of injectors for response and valve cleaning. Like the FRS.

Xguard86 posted:I was never crazy enough to test it so don't quote me but it did that 1st -4th lockout for mpg so I know it had the functionality and I swear it blocked me from a mistaken downshift one time. If you aren't too forceful, synchronizers will 'lock' you out while they desperately try to spin the input shaft up to a million RPM for the wrong gear your trying to choose.

Zero to 60 mph: 4.5 sec Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 5.1 sec Why is this? Terrible throttle response?

Oh, derp, that makes sense. Roll means no wheelspin, which means engine could be below ideal torque. Still, could indicate a slow opening FBW throttle.

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2014/04/2015-mustang-makes-burnouts-brainer.html Performance driving of any kind nowadays is all down to whether your car knows how to do it. Not whether you know how to do it. At least it's manual only.
