Ok. Cool.

Not sure if you know how to or have ever had a chance to drive a car with a true manual transmission, but they are FUN. With the end of the Gallardo, and the R8 due to be replaced soon (rumored not to offer a manual transmission), nearly all of today's exotics have dual clutch transmissions, and even great drivers such as Motor Trend's Randy Pobst cannot pull the shift paddles before the car shifts automatically, which in my eyes makes it an automatic. I mean, I know absolute performance is fun to brag about and all, but unless you live literally on a racetrack, what's the point of sacrificing the fun and driver involvement a manual brings?

Guess I better get off my soap box, 'cause I can get pretty riled up about this stuff lol. If you're ever in Charlotte, shoot me a message. I know plenty of good spotting areas if you want to try to meet or anything.

True.

I know most of these supercars have a lot of safety stuff and automatic cr*p and stuff. I do prefer the ones with at least Semi-Auto but I know some of these new exotics are not like the old ones.

Fair enough, but the Carrera GT is only dangerous because the people that drive them have no idea of its raw capabilities. Everyone has been spoiled by the nanny tech in current supercars that will mostly bail you out of a bad situation; in the Carrera GT, it was you and the road, and if you made a mistake, it was on you. The CGT was the last pure supercar the world will ever see (outside of extremely obscure operations like Mosler), and represents the end of an era.

There's no real involvement in modern supercars like there was in the CGT. You can't get a Ferrari or Lamborghini with a manual transmission (the CGT was mated exclusively to a six speed manual). Everything has computers watching your every move, ready to take over if you're in over your head (the CGT had none of that). It might be dangerous, but it might be because a vast majority of drivers have no qualifications to drive such cars.

I know that but just after he died in one, I don't know what happened but I just kind of lost respect for the car. I remember on the news before Paul Walker's death, it was on CNN I think, they said that the Carrera GT is the most dangerous car on the road. And previous people died in some a lot. I just think that the car might have too much power and people lose control of it easy.

I think that half of the exotic car crashes today are from people losing control of their cars. I sort of gained respect for the car over time but still though...

It wasn't the Carrera GT's fault that Paul Walker was killed, and it wasn't even Paul's fault. I don't see how you can hate it based on the fact that he was killed in it.

Cars themselves don't kill people. People kill people; that's how Paul Walker died.

I think I have made my choice. Maybe the BMW 7-Series, Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss, Ferrari F12 or the Mercedes SL65 AMG. They are both amazing!

I can't decide between the Opel Speedster / Vauxhall VX220 or the Koenigsegg Agera R. It was the Porsche Carrera GT but I hated it when Paul Walker Died in one.

Whats your favorite car?

@Rowanbug33 Lol thanks

Lol hmmm...I'm a Panthers fan but that description doesn't ring a bell. Maybe a Bobcats player?

@Mazdafreak My dad said the same thing. Probably is a Panthers player but the guy came out of a pizza shop with an messy apron and an afro. I doubt it. Its odd.

Wait you say it might be owned by a Panthers player? Did you see who was driving it?

Proud to give this shot 40 likes. Well done!

@MinneGoober Thanks!
