u must have never met a guy who is good with his stick....

when i don't redline at 8000 rpm or press the sport button, people always go "wait this is a manual?" after sitting in my car for 10 mins.

when i redline at 8000 rpm with the sport button pressed, my back is pressed tight against the seat while my hand shifts the gear almost half a second (especially the first few cause it redlines so quick when u floor it), with the feet on the clutch doing the same thing. Not to mention every time the gear changes, the back is pressed against the seat again. It is better than sex (well i guess u can say that for every high power manual cars).

btw i have driven m3 smg, m5 smg II and r8 r-tronic... so I have a pretty good first hand experience.
