Put a MANUAL on it and then we’ll talk…
(Oh yeah, I forgot some of you are tech-geeks, can’t operate manuals, clutches, and are unable to sense any qualitative sensorial difference between driving autos or manuals… You can keep measuring times with your gadgety cars, but you still can’t enjoy sports cars or drive them to their limits…)

@StalePhish You know I would’ve bought a G8 if I could’ve gotten it with a manual, but like you said they only had it on the GXP which was a little out of my price range, pretty sick car though!!

let’s find out

really ugly rims
January 30th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Is this with the new n55 engine?
January 30th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
@coolerdude44: Yeah, the base trim (265hp) and the GT trim (361hp) are auto-only. the GXP trim (425hp) is where you get manual as an expensive option
January 30th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
@StalePhish oh i didn’t know the normal g8 is only automatic
January 30th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
@coolerdude44: To go from GT to GXP trim and to add manual as an option. The GXPs around here were almost $40k and I went several states away to get a blue G8 GT for $26k
January 30th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
@StalePhish … $14,000?
January 30th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
@coolerdude44: It really wasn’t worth it for me to pay $14,000 extra to get manual transmission and 60 extra horses so I’m happy with the semi-auto
January 30th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
tiptronic automatic isn’t the same as a dsg. the dsg is jerky in real world driving, an automatic isn’t. if you bought the g8 to cruise, then money well spent. but if you like driving, it’s well worth it to have a manual.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Point well-made.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
@coolerdude44: With my car (Pontiac G8), it was actually more expensive for the manual! It was like +$4000 or something, but only available on the “GXP” trim. I got the GT trip which has sportronic/automatic-only though

@Wormtail81 i don’t care how quick the shifts are, and i don’t care if it shaves 5 seconds off the nurburgring lap time. in the real world, the manual is smoother, and more rewarding to drive. and paying $4,000 not to have one is just ludicrous to me.

People say proper manual and I understand the BMW is one of the only companies that knows how to execute one…but the new DCT’s are amazing.

it’s not rubbish, the last z4 m wasn’t very popular, so they’re not bothering with a new one.
thing is though, i think that this car with the m3′s v8 and a proper manual would be absolutely godly.

@gephross I own a 2003 Miata =)
I think maybe you misunderstood my comment. I just think that these cars cross into the luxury performance segment and there’s a whole different market for that. Kudos for bringing up the MX-5 though. Couple years down the road I’ll sell this guy and get gen.3 they’re amazing cars.

@ElBoundy88 I like Miatas. I think it’s one car out of mazda that doesn’t go wrong- the 2003 Mazda6 was okay at first, but its Ford Engine ruined it. I think they really did a good job with all the Miatas- but the Z4 is amazing.

gephross100 you compare a mazda to bmw?? everybody in europe would laugh at you.. no idea bout cars.. mazda used to be good.. in the 90 but now its just crap
January 31st, 2010 at 1:43 am
Rather get an SLK for the price
January 31st, 2010 at 2:16 am
LOL….your graphics are just garbage…
Always covering up the car with that big thick fucking thing…
