I liked my MT-82, especially the 2015 version. Nothing for me to whine about there. ;)

I agree. The 2015 MT-82 is light years better than previous years and better than any Honda I was driving previously(minus the s2000 with carbon synchros from factory, that's hard to beat). There sure are a lot of complaints on this transmission but in all honesty it could be far, far worse.

I hope they do an upgrade to the steering and turn-in. Have you recently driven the all new 2016 Camaro SS.....wow the turn in and steering feel on that car is so much more precise and fun, not to mention the overall driving dynamics. The car just loves handling precisley through turns. Now that the new Camaro is built on the "Alpha" platform it just handles extremely well. In my opinion it handled much nicer than the GT, go see for yourself !

I have also watched many car reviews from all the top drivers and major car magazines and they compare the new SS to the M4 saying it drives just as good if not better than the M4 !!

Now if Ford can just make the 18' Mustang steering feel, feedback, turn in, and preciseness that much better, it will make the Mustang even more awesome to drive !!

I heard it's going to have a triple-turbocharged crossplane crankshaft that runs on unicorn farts with 413mm carbon-cocaine brakes and 315s (made of fresh-squeezed rainbow juice) on all four corners. The wheels will change size depending on your application because they're forged in space from rare meteorium. The tri-bar taillights will in fact be three small lightsabers. Also, it'll have one horsepower per one kilogram of weight ala the Koenigsegg One:1 and will use the cellphone melded into the palm of your hand for steering inputs. The shocks are made of compressed cloud particles and injected with titanium that changes density prior to any road imperfections (updated constantly by Google maps, of course) in order to provide the best handling possible.*

Thoughts? Possible?

Why would you say that? Recalibrating the EPAS and even changing the ratio would not be that big of scope to put outside a mid-cycle refresh. I just wish the ratio was a little quicker, is all.

I was talking more about the overall platform and the loss of weight/handling etc...something they can really address with the S650.

I want GT350 styled front end/hood, GT350 IM or something similar to be around 450hp/420tq, a diffuser on base trims, gotta have it green available, magnetic ride supsension available, some sort of dual mode/active exhaust, 10 speed automatic and some sort of performance pack available on automatics. Dreams, but I would be a happy camper.
