There is no such thing as a perfect car lol.
No manual Vette? What? Sacrebleu!

A mid-engine NA V8 with DCT still sounds infinitely better than what I am seeing from the new M3/M4. By the way, as far as I am aware, BMW still hasn't confirmed availability of the third pedal, so we could looking at auto vs DCT in this regard.
Yeah ... a few of the journalists have commented on this .. granted they aren't engineers but do have a way better idea than me.... they could always redesign some of the crap under there ... how hard could it be?

I just had a crazy idea ... clutch and shift by wire!? haha *flame suit donned*
