How about, we are now in a SAD era where car guys gut butthurt if you say something is gay... Or can I not say butthurt as that's kinda gay? |

It is pretty sad that we live in a time where it is so easy to hurt someone's feelings.
But, these are the times we live in.

Some of you all need to go ask your wives to pull your balls out their purse and let you hold them for a minute. Jebus.

I didn't intend for the gay comment to be taken as a comment on sexuality. Let's say I also came from a time where calling something gay didn't send people off the deep end and running for a safe space.
The era of preferring an automatic is probably what, 5 years old at most? Many older sports cars are worth much less if they are an automatic. You can get a Porsche 944 auto for much cheaper than a manual. What I think actually happened here is that some guys with the A10 want to act as if they're smarter and have a better car because of their transmission choice. They neglected to realize that not everyone wants an automatic in a sports car. I think feelings got hurt when guys with a M6 didn't bow to their superiority. They singled out the word "gay" to justify their insecurities. JMHO. |

I like that the ZL1 and ZL1 1LE offer a choice for the transmission either a A10 or M6! The buyer can choose when one they want!

To each his own. I personally don’t find and auto to be fun to drive. I am blessed to own several cars that are autos with paddles and they don’t do anything for me besides get me from point A to point B. When I go for a “fun” drive I want the manual.
I’m not a street racer or a track rat, so I really don’t care if one shifts .1 seconds faster than the other. I drive the car for my own enjoyment and no one else’s. If you prefer the auto, good for you. Enjoy. I will be enjoying mine. |

The funny thing is that when the M6 folks are ranting on the A10 with 'insert choice of words' the A10 crowd has to put up - when we reply to or pick on the M6 folks, ohh shit... the feelings are hurt all over. I am sorry if your feelings were hurt with my response(s).
Member who asked about butthurt: Lol, I don't know enough to answer that. If you really need an answer, download Grinder. Good luck! Era of automatics: I have to disagree as F1 cars have paddle shifted since the 90's. For years, Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars have adjusted power to the wheels with computerized timing and the Pro Stock cars can be shifted at full throttle with no clutch. Automatic has been the tendency for a long time. And don't get it wrong I have a few manual cars myself. My response was on the side of sarcasm, but I get that intent doesn't translate well through a keyboard. Is it OK if I state the fact that the A10 is faster? LOL |

For me if I wanted to win 0 to 60 races I would go buy a Tesla, for me its all about having fun while Im going fast. The A10 is fun also but its not the same as the M6. M6 for me always.

Getting a 944 auto is like getting an auto miata. Those care are 100% about the driving experience, of which the manual is a part of. Newer performance cars like the ZL1 are just so much faster that humans can't keep up anymore. Our EV overlords are dominating straight line performance on the street already, pretty soon we'll all be getting smoked by EV grocery getters from light to light. |
