The true kicker that will settle this debate:


Most die hard car manual advocates don't ride or cannot ride motorcycles; which means the manual experience can only be had in a car.

For both 2 and 4 wheeler enthusiasts, it is easier to choose a DCT if they needed, as the manual shifting ritual can be had in the later evening in a different style.


(Sometime I do think heel toe shift look like someone with down syndrome trying to drive properly.)



Case Closed.

^ what?

I ride and I drive. I always choose a manual vehicle if the option exists. Saying that I’ll get my gear shifting fix on [just] a bike is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve read on a car forum. Not to mention whatever other non-sense you wrote there that I’m not gonna address. You, sir, are incorrect.

Haha probably. I don’t even remember posting that comment, but I recognize my work.

I also ride motorcycles. Competitively obviously. Still chose the manual.

If I got the car for serious track work, I would of choose a DCT tho. I was ready to ‘settle’ for a DCT after test driving one too.

Honestly, I think they’re both cool options. But only one comes with a funny stigma to make fun of.

I recently had the opportunity to do a few laps at VIR. I've always tracked MT cars, but nothing as "jaunty" as the M2C. There were a few times I needed to change gears when I would've been happier having both hands on the wheel.

That said, I still prefer driving the MT, but I can readily see why a DCT would be compelling for track work on something as fast and twitchy as the M2C.
