We've got several devices at home, across both operating systems. Neither is buggy/laggy/unresponsive in the slightest.
Not understanding how to use either OS doesn't make it 'tat'.
If I had the space for 2 cars, I'd have an auto and a manual. But for 1 car to do everything I want, Manuel works better for me. But I very rarely have to deal with traffic.
Yeah, that's beyond hearsay. Apparently a forum member spoke to him, and he confirmed it. But that was last year, and nothings happened and the entire production run has been spoken for.
I've no doubt the next generation will offer both, the gt4 was a test bed to see how manual would be...
There's never been a pdk option. The Clubsport (track only) has pdk only, which is where the confusion seems to have crept in on forums etc.
I've not read anything on any reputable site about Porsche offering pdk, unless something has changed recently. Which would be odd given that gt4...
You get more interaction from a manual. There's no debate there. Yes dsg is better for chasing lap times. Yes it's better if you're stuck in traffic.
But is dsg more fun when you're driving down a b-road? No. That's why Porsche have done the gt4 and the R. That's why a manual box is the biggest...
The grip level is low enough that it's fun on a daily basis. Ffs it's easier to skid than an mx5.
Razor sharp motor, makes a good sound, rwd, lsd, great driving position, brakes that terrify on every quick drive.
Yes a c63 is stunning when acting the brummy and driving at 20mph trying to...
Genuine question. Given the similarities between the Meg chassis and 197, what's the benefit of turboing a 197 over buying a reliable r26 and all that offers?
E39 is a great drive. Shrinks around you, but it's much more relaxed than an e46/90. Engine is lovely, but again really laid back compared to the e90.
The f80 is strange. It feels like it was developed for a less potent lump, and then the turbo was bolted on at the end.
This. The V8 isn't a torquey lump, it's got a very different feel to the e39 for example. And in terms of torque to weight ratio, it's hardly better than the e46.
In comparison, the f80 feels like a monster!
But I'd still take an e90 or e46 over an f80 as a drivers car.
Opportunities to actually do that are limited on a daily basis. But I don't think folks buy an m3 for it to be massively exciting on the commute.
You buy them for those times when you can push it. Day to day, it just slips into your life like a slightly angry 330.
I'd take it as far as possible. Luckily it was a small Pebble and you're traveling slowly. Larger stone at a higher speed could genuinely cause an accident.
