Some of you seem to be running 305/30/19 instead of 305/35/19.
Any particular impact you felt (other than the slight change in perimeter probably affecting the speedo ?) ?
If no major issue, that opens to more tire choice at a lower price.
Very nice story !
My son still has to enjoy the car from the babysit but surely will ask the keys when he turns 18 :-)
Being able to do a trackday and the next day travel with the family was a real plus for me deciding to buy this model - those moments are only great if you can share them
That's ok.
But If I may by suggesting that "people are not smart enough" when they criticize the 6th gear, and that they should go back and learn how to drive a stick (which you edited to be fair).... Yes I can state that it is not only stating facts....
Especially because you can see that this...
I've read some of the previous threads started in the past few days and better understand the background...
My opinion is that if there is a significant issue with a particular member and he/her should be excluded from the forum based on facts and by the admins ( I don't have any opinion on this...
Funny to see that you insult half of the people on this forum because they express an opinion and yet think you're the smart one here... I'll leave you to it, you seem to enjoy this and have the time for it
Thank you for correcting all the wrong things I've said, in a very friendly and open manner.
I thought I only expressed impressions and feelings about the 6th speed of the best vehicle I've owned so far, therefore suggesting that it is not 100% perfect.
But I now realize I've gone too far and...
The only long term comparison I can make is with my previous M3E92. It was a different generation and therefore not subject to the same guidelines but the 6th speed felt more like a proper gear and not too tall.
On newer cars but manual, I can only speak about the Corvette C7 and 991 which both...
I personally understand the "issue" with the 6th speed, and sure you get used to it but this is still something not ideal for all roads.
In Europe, where I know the car should not even exist, and especially in Germany, it makes it more difficult to follow a convoy of other very powerful' cars...
It also drifts on the dry I can tell you
But to your point I think any car with more than 200bhp (even less) will have enough power to drift on the dry and after that it's a question of balance and how easy it is to control, which is something you can actually see in the rain. I personnally...
