Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

I'll always miss my NC Club, seriously fun car for the money...

 

...and never discount LT4 C4 Vettes. Mid/low 13's at 106+mph for econo car money!

 

A-Team!

 

Shoulda bought a AT

 

I am not a Corvette enthusiast, but I respect what they are and what they are capable of. The Z06's and ZR1's were impressive. I know it's not economy car money but it still is relatively priced in the obtainable area, maybe, but I would love the newer GT350. That car makes me tingle! I can't even think of owning one though, my screen name isn't a drug problem, it's a foot that only knows 2 throttle positions, floored and closer to the floor. My Tacoma is perfect for me. It keeps my from doing stupid things again!

 

Hoon for $1500? Have I got a deal for you?! My 2002 WRX (of course it's an MT) is for sale at that price. I have romped that thing down lots of dirt roads. Set the rear camber to 0° so it would slide a little.

 

This is where I'm at with my tacoma as well, it's saved me from tickets, high insurance and high maintenance costs as compared to a sports car, while allowing me to explore areas previously inaccessible by car. Investing that time and money back into myself has allowed me to chance my career path and overall health for the better, a win-win scenario.

 

Alright, enough from this namby-pamby, back on topic... here' a C7 Z06 running a 7:13 at the ring with zero flappy paddles in sight:

powaaAA!

 

A minute off the pace but still impressive, and the sound!

Those cars sound amazing!

 

Ordered 2020 pro in auto since I heard they fixed the shifting issue. Truck wasn’t scheduled until May but then someone dropped out from delivery of their M/T. Snatched it up! Only drawback is the loss of options from Toyota. No jbl, auto start, crawl, auto door unlock when close... told my wife the manual was a safety feature of people asking to borrow your truck.. I love it

 

That’s one of the best features. People ask to borrow my truck and I ask if they can drive a 6 speed. Usually that’s followed by “what’s a 6 speed?”

 

Good choice!
Nah, those options aren't really a big deal..
Recent reporting has shown that pushbutton start is easier to steal anyway.
Enjoy your M/T

 

I just don't let people borrow my things and they stop asking. Win-win.

that 4V mod motor sound, I'm missing mine...

 

If friends need a truck, no problem as I drive, they buy lunch.

 

Has anyone stock regeared and has it helped reverse?

 

4.88 and huge love and kisses oh sorry. Yes nice and reverse is much improved. But still do the 2WD LOW mod.

 

That looks like where they filmed the first scene from "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World."

 

Does anyone get a bit of clutch chatter engaging first on your third gens? It doesn't really happen if i give it more gas. Maybe I'm just not driving this thing right?
