Only a limited vehicle makes Norm happy. Has to be a little rough around the edge. It like saying you like plain girls because they are more friendly. I know deep down you are a live axle biasply kind of guy. You know you can get a Beck Spyder, toss in a 2180 single turbo, heck I may even take a ride in that death trap.. since I’m worth more dead than alive.

No, you still don't quite understand. Where the transmission issue is concerned, it's because the performance improvement is the result of taking the driver yet another step away from . . . doing his own driving.
I do like "rough around the edges", but that's a subtopic for another time and a different thread.
1.0x lateral g's is already kind of a yawn. That crude, horribly limited Mustang of mine can pull more than 1.2g. On true street tires.
Even at nearly 100 mph

So yep, I get you, same reason I keep over clocking my AMD chip and now have a house fan blowing on it... cause real men don’t buy a cool running Intel chip, what fun would that be? At least I admit the Intel is better in every way and I’m just a mean, angry skinflint.

I'm not refusing to admit anything. I'm trying to tell you that what they've done with the C8 in this one respect is not making it better for me, no matter how many people it is becoming better for.
