Ok the boomer tag gets dropped a ton on this site, so let me just say the boomers and the Gen Z folks have had a chance to grow up with manual cars. That said, they know why it is so much more addictive to drive a sports car when you need to control every minute by shifting.

The Millenials and Gen Z grew up with game boy's and X box controllers which are basically the same as the paddle shifters. So I get it!

So this car is a blast! It is like you are in a cockpit. The entire driving experience is one hand on the shifter and the other on the wheel. In any traffic situation it is like you are in your own Nascar race. At a red light this car is a sleeper to 98% of the people out there! You punch this thing at 20 MPH in first gear and the tires break loose.

This is 100 times more fun, manual or automatic than my old C8! My buddy and I went out early on a Sunday and I beat his C8 by two car lenghts from 60 to 120 mph....this turbo is amazing!

So the trolls that will slam me I am sure for something I said should be banned from this site, if that is all they do! Do the moderators watch that stuff!

do not give me any shit on my 6MT badge
Thats is the way it is .
I am living this evey day and you can believe dident grow up in my parents house .
The cars I have fit into the daily routine and the traffic light experence has been with me for 60 years Ride on brother ,Trolls please reply gives me energy

You have earned a 6mt badge, I will track one down for you! I think my buddy found it on the amazon site in Japan.

80%+ of you dudes on here have a daily - just use that to commute ? I didn't buy an A90 to idle in traffic with it
And for some of us, our daily is also a manual. The traffic excuse is such a joke. If you can't drive a manual in traffic because it hurts your little footsies, stfu and stick to the auto. What a joke.

Can’t tell if your original thread/post was in part joke, glad you bought it, then beg everyone to differ. No initiation needed.



The majority of us love our cars. Not much has changed since its inception. There are a TON of aftermarket parts for it. Don’t forget to use your free track day ?

truth be told, in modern days, it's getting quite hard to find a good manual fast car... So it's quite normal that the manual transmission lover enthusiasm is a little over the top when you start to realize that the Supra is one of the last good manual in this category...

On the other hand, while the ZF8 Supra is definitly awsome and the right buy if you are chasing outright speed, the options are not really missing when talking about fast automatic cars, in fact that's pretty much everything there is on the market...

I believe it’s one year. But… wouldn’t hurt to call your local NASA chapter and ask ?
