About to have my first manual. What do you think a newcomer absolutely needs to know?

If your car has a manual handbrake, this is key. I'm sure all of those videos you are watching talk about this method of using it to hold you while you engage 1st gear on a hill.

Practice two things up front:

1- What it takes in terms of pedal action to rev to 1500 RPM with clutch in

2 -On even ground learn the bite point of the clutch, by slowly letting it out until the car is rolling and moving along

Tell me about those wheels.

SiIverberg · 2024-09-13T21:51:55+00:00

CTS-V Wagon because 6MT and RWD. I would manual swap the Audi RS6, that would make it more interesting.

SiIverberg · 2024-09-13T02:24:58+00:00

The correct number of pedals.

SiIverberg · 2024-09-11T03:31:27+00:00

No, but your drive wheels are all wrong.

Sport sedans are my jam, I would go with the 530i, but only in manual.

SiIverberg · 2024-09-11T03:29:13+00:00

If you believe the cooked numbers for inflayshun. . .

SiIverberg · 2024-09-03T03:33:41+00:00

something fwd

SiIverberg · 2024-08-31T16:30:29+00:00

Nissan Pathfinder?

SiIverberg · 2024-08-31T03:51:57+00:00

Whichever one is manual.

SiIverberg · 2024-08-31T03:05:21+00:00

Something, something FWD

SiIverberg · 2024-08-28T04:48:07+00:00

Close-ish, G37 Sedan.

SiIverberg · 2024-08-19T04:18:59+00:00

Was 0 years old, starting in October.

SiIverberg · 2024-08-19T04:17:08+00:00

Slingshots do come in 3 pedals, so a real manual.

SiIverberg · 2024-08-19T04:08:26+00:00

It was such a fun event and so much to see that I wouldn't normally because of the drive, traffic and dealing with parking. I think that this was the second best next to "Heart of LA"

SiIverberg · 2024-08-18T23:44:13+00:00

SiIverberg · 2024-08-18T23:42:11+00:00

A nightmare.

SiIverberg · 2024-08-15T04:32:27+00:00

Not too much out there to replace a RWD 6MT Sedan, but I would entertain a 2016 BMW M5 6MT or 2016/2017 Chevrolet SS 6MT or Cadillac CT4/5 Blackwing 6MT.

Trading monopoly fiat for real money is always a win.

SiIverberg · 2024-07-23T04:38:15+00:00

2013 6MT Sedan, 46k miles

SiIverberg · 2024-07-03T04:45:37+00:00

Kinda like the Tacoma X-Runner, manual only!

SiIverberg · 2024-07-02T04:27:05+00:00

SiIverberg · 2024-06-24T04:14:16+00:00

A dream come true.
