[QUOTE="BAS, post: 16105920, member: 137936"] I agree wholeheartedly on the subject of this thread. The 13/14 is not outclassed by the 2020 - we have the carbon fiber drive shaft, we have the power and speed, the track pack, the recaros... The differentiator is really in the body style and the DCT box (yes, over simplifying it). On the subject of gears... there is a Chris Harris vid where he is driving a ferrari with DCT and he basically says that everything is all happening too fast that to have a gear stick would just get in the way. The way I see it is that your car can be fast and you can be quick, but very few of us will really be at the peak of competition driving... so I want to get the most enjoyment out of my car. Yes the '13 GT500 a is crazy fast white knuckle ride of a car, but I sincerely appreciate rowing through the gears. Developing my driving skills on track such that when I get that downshift right it feels like I'm conducting an orchestra. Porsche are now recognizing this as they re-introduce manual gearboxes to their lines. Oh... and imagine our cars on CF wheels, unloading all of that unsprung mass! [/QUOTE]
