Not gonna start at AT vs. MT debate, but once I drove a DCT, going back to the third pedal if the objective is fast was a done debate.

Last MT car i had was an E92 M3, it was terrible, rubbery and the clutch pedal was vague, not fun as a Cayman's MT.

Sorry, I wasn't even trying to go there, but I saw that interior photo of the orange touring with the stick and the third pedal and I simply had fond flashback to the old days.

MT can't complete with modern AT for performance, but there's a certain connection with the car that I used to get with a MT that I miss from time to time.

If Internet car forums were around back when they first put starter motors in cars, there would have been guys talking about how they preferred going to the front of the car and turning the crank.

Not a fan. Looks like a casket would go in the back.

OPP is the Ontario Provincial Police. But don't get too excited the inside baseball at this point is that it may just be for the Auto Show.

Huh? And in New Orleans, OPP is Orleans Parish Prison… not a place you want to visit!

I was thinking the same thing... not what I would consider a race bike at all. Maybe if it were a CX only class.

I don`t know what he uses the Honda for....He races in different categories and classes, but his favorite is road racing.
