Is there really that big of a difference between MT & AT!?
Those BMW transmissions have been r+d'd from decades of F1, GT, GA cup...etc. So it's quite faster than the rest of the paddle shifters on most cars...plus the M still has a clutch pedal for now.It's the same way in the Ferrari's and I believe Lambo's E gear setup requires a manual clutch to initiate motion from a stop (Ive never had the opportunity to drive a Gallardo). Nissan is getting better with there development as the new GTR already has this technology and is super quick shifting in performance mode. Now all we need is for that tech. to trickle down into our midrange cars lol. *fingers crossed*
The A/T does the work for you. In most cases you will see better times with an A/T. It's not only the spinning you have to worry about in the M/T it's the over reving of each gear. Sometimes drivers hold the gears to long which is bad for times. Like some of the guy's said, it's all about choice and what you will use your car for? I don't believe you will be spending most of your time at the race track with this car? The M/T is probable a little more fun to drive because you are able to enter act with your car more. Either way these are some very good sports cars.
isn't the sedan lighter than the coupe....i would love to see evidence of this statement
Oh the new car with the better engine is faster??
