None of those are offered in manual transmissionWhat about the Lexus RC F, or the Jag F-Type, or the Blackwing, or AMG Mercs, or the BMW M5? Yeah, I know, those are not "pony" cars, but I suspect that there will be a few V8s out there for at least a few more years ...
Yeah, you beat me to it, but since I already went to the trouble to quote all of those posts...manual trans is an option for the Blackwing
And yes, the primary reason I bought another Mustang is that I wanted a manual transmission in my convertible, and choices are few. Plus, I like the car.
The Porsche Taycan has a two speed transmission. I believe that they did it for awesome 0-60 times and decent range. I'm not an engineer, but I presume that there are benefits to running an electric motor at lower RPMs.There’s technically absolutely zero need for a transmission at all in an EV.
And CA (home of Tesla) is probably far better than most states. That was the biggest reason I never bought an EV; I could not see how I could make long trips in this area without careful planning. Until recently, it was purely impossible to make a round trip to some places.Still do not see how we can go all EV. I am in Ca and we dont have charging stations
everywhere.
And even now, when I can fill up my 400+ mile range gasoline tank in about 5 minutes, I prefer that to a 200 mile range that takes 40+ minutes to "fill almost all the way up".
