When i take the car to more than 4500 rpm and shift gears i feel a sense of power in my legs -- kind of vibration , dunno how to explain it well

All manual transmission drivers do u get the same kind of feeling ?

 

Yup...nice car by the way

 

yea.. i have the same problem with my car. When i clutch in above 4,500 rpm there is like a crruunch sound ... it's very loud when compared to anything below 4,000rpm. any ideas?

 

For pure driving pleasure the manual is the only way to go. BTW Diamond Graphite/Graphite is a super color combo, and I will be getting mine next month.

 

You will also notice if you are not going to fast, say like 10 mph and have it in 1st or 2nd gear, if you press the gas pedal down about half way, you will here some weird creaking grinding sounds come out from under the car. I figure the noises are fine, the car still runs good and if it doesnt, thats what the warranty is for.

 

That's one opinion. Sit in afternoon traffic on I64 in Norfolk VA for a year and see what you think...

 

I was referring to the part of the thread whereby people were talking about shifting at 4500 RPMs and therefore my manual comment was directed at normal driving. I don't consider sitting in traffic driving so if you spend significant time in traffic the auto makes life easier.

 

OK, OK !

Bases covered.

 

ROFL..

Okay, I give up.. hehe..
