I was unfortunate enough to pick up a nail probably less than 500 miles into my ownership, one tire was about $500~ and change, so that's about on par with what you are getting, or at least in the same area I'd imagine. I was pretty surprised at the price being so bad. I know it's the dealer...

I understand what you are saying; I've driven cars that one could argue are equipped with far better transmissions than the ZF 8 speed (DCT, PDK, etc), and I honestly still wouldn't own one. They are obviously good at what they do but they do something I'd rather do myself.

I can't believe people are having allocation issues still. I must have gotten insanely lucky, I waited all of six weeks for mine. Based on what I gathered when I was calling around to countless dealers was that some of the lower volume ones have a lower chance to get an allocation by the sound...

Paddle shifters just dont' do it for me. I will say (and this is only my opinion, so I'm obviously not expecting people to agree because its specific to my situation) that paddle shifters are a significant improvement over a regular slushbox though. I really just like the connection and...

I just said " Now, thats not to say I'm claiming the six speed manual is going to beat the automatic in every scenario outside of those, or vice versa." so I'm curious as to what you are mentioning that for? Moving over to a different transmission in a specific racing class/series is likely not...

I'm not "seaking" responses to validate anything; My entire reason for posting was to gather information about my concern, and as it stands I never discounted the possibility of it being DI's, though I've never owned a car with DI that sounded quite like the noise I'm hearing. Maintaining and...

Unfortunately not that I know. Might just book an appointment at the dealer if I turn up without any leads here.

I've owned a few DI cars in the past and they've never made a chattering noise. Sure, audible, but nothing that sounds like that. There's the obvious noise that sounds like the engine running and injectors firing, but it might require turning your volume up or using headphones to hear the noise...

I must have used the wrong keywords, but even generic ones such as "chatter" "chattering" and "noise" didn't show anything within the past day, and back a few months the results returned weren't really relevant. I've uploaded a video; Car is in neutral (6MT). AC off or on doesn't have any...

2023 3.0 Premium 6MT. I've noticed that when the car is idling, you can hear what sounds like a chattering noise coming from the passengers side of the engine bay. The best thing I can think to describe it as being similar to is the sound of an upgraded clutch that chatters in neutral...

That looks pretty good, but assuming they are hypothetically about to start churning out production models...I think that's absolutely crazy they can't make an adapter harness to adopt to the factory wiring. Having to spend $1,300~ USD + shipping and then having to mess with the wiring...

Yeah, I guess a more appropriate question is what is the likelihood of these actually seeing a release? I think they would look nice, but I'm not about to drop $200 on a preorder without any real concrete proof it would be delivered.

While I can't say its an awful unveiling or a bad car...I honestly think the cosmetics added to this one don't really bring much to the table. I'm happy with my 23 Nocturnal 6MT, and by comparison, I think the A91-MT was more of a special version of the car than the 45th anniversary. It's...

Title. Those have been supposedly in development for awhile, right? Just curious as to if anyone knows if they are actually going to materialize of if its basically a sunk cost at this point...

Completely agree. I'm not trying to split hairs, my whole argument was that when you do less of one thing that makes it advantageous, you are also doing less of what is disadvantageous to the manual transmission. Pick the one you want, and drive what makes you happy. For me, its changing my...

Lesser is entirely subjective. I don't think we are necessarily saying the same thing. I don't understand why its so difficult to understand that the car you claim is a "lesser" track car begins to have more of an advantage on a track and the 8 speed that you are essentially worshipping has...

I don't even know where to start here. Knowing that any car under any sort of performance evaluation, be it a manual or an automatic transmission will have to change gears is a given, I don't know why you felt the need to mention that. The manual is not "always slower around a race track"...

You do realize you are basically now echoing what I'm saying by agreeing that you lose no time, right? My entire argument has been that the gear changes begin to become less of an advantage. I have no idea why you are choosing this hill to die on, even in the metrics where the auto has a clear...

There's noting wrong with having a preference, and while you mention it "had a lot to do with the manual being so close" The article's description frames it as a fractional difference: " partly aided by favorable 40-degree morning temperatures." I wouldn't consider that saying it had a lot to...

How so? Nearly all of the bench marked times have been 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. These are obviously going to favor a close ratio multiple geared box, like the 8 speed. My point is, and this article below is a great example of a primary source, is that once you are on track, you aren't going to...
