Can you please mention this GM car you’re referring to? solstice/sky?
Stop being so hung up on tires. If you don’t like them, take them off and sell them. They are a repacemabke item, you’ll replace them eventually anyways. Common sense and not difficult.
I hate to say it, and you know it’s true, and while I’m not at all, in any means shape or form, bashing a manual transmission, you know that MT is on its way out (of course it will take a long time). Higher priced cars already are faster with AT. But we both know there’s more control with the MT.
Yeah it was the solstice/sky.
I'm not hung up on the tires. You don't seem to know anything about performance driving so you can't grasp what I'm saying.
If/when you replace the tires with something sticky you will not be able to generate any wheelspin or slip angle. You lose that fun to drive factor.
If it had enough power to induce the same driving experience WITH good tires it would be a legitimate performance car and still be fun to drive. I can't explain it any better than that.
As for the M/T A/T argument the new autos are good and DCT is good. In a woefully underpowered car the manual is what makes it fun to drive. My 24hrs of LeMons car would be boring as fuck if it were auto. It would be like driving in traffic on the interstate.
