Pressure cookers haven’t been terrifying for like 100 years. Pressure frying is not something feasible for home use but almost all modern pressure cookers you can buy today are completely safe. I use my electric pressure cooker a few times a week and the only danger is burning yourself with steam when you…

That’s pretty good for racing an old $20m car!

What % full speed do you think he is pushing this? A few braking sections he had to go oppo to get things straightened but other times it looked like he backed off a bit.

This makes no sense.

These people are insane. I’d drive one in a heartbeat. I’d be very careful but I wouldn’t think twice about it.

Really? You think this specific model exists in a vacuum from all other cars?It’s somehow immune to those effects?

Because that’s a big reason why people with shit loads of money buy certain cars. They want to be seen in a cool car. They aren’t looking for the best track time; that’s the reality of the situation.

I understand what you’re focusing on but it’s part of a bigger picture of image. The transmission is just one of many pieces that make a car and it’s pointless to debate whether or not the transmission itself will affect how appealing it is to 15 year olds. It’s too specific of an argument to make one way or the…

That’s debatable. I don’t think either of us knows specifically whether an available transmission will dictate whether or not the car goes up on a kid’s wall. What I believe we do know, though, is that having kids revere supercars and put them up on their wall do generate interest in the cars. After the Countach and…

Stupid logic. Lamborghini attracts youth with crazy cars who put them up on posters and gawk. Then one day they buy one. Cars aren’t just designed for a current target market. They are designed to represent a future brand as well.

Interesting. I hope it was mainly directed at the transmission choice because Boxters are still awesome.

It’s been too long waiting to see Harris drive a Viper.

You said the same thing to another guy in the thread. Try having an original thought for once instead of spouting outdated dogma.

Stop trying to change the subject. You said “DON’T MAKE THE CLUTCH SLIP”. That doesn’t make sense. All I want is for you to be accurate with your advice. Not once have you provided any evidence for information to contradict what I said. This is a hardcore car enthusiast site- don’t spout bullshit and expect no one to…

I know I’m sad? That doesn’t even make sense. I’m not playing with words. If you think a quick release of the clutch pedal instantly engages the flywheel and transmission then you’re just wrong. You posted some holier-than-thou advice in this thread and disagreed with everyone that posted something to the contrary…

No, you are correct. I think this guy equates clutch slippage with abusive driving and doesn’t realize that there are a wide ranges of slippage that the clutch goes through. It’s not good to let the clutch pedal out slowly while you are giving it lots of throttle, but a quick, smooth engagement of the pedal is all…

Inevitably the clutch is going to generate heat no matter how you drive. Burning of the clutch disc is just excessive heat. I worked at a Volkswagen dealership for years and my friends, the mechanics, and I worked on my car a lot and spoke about clutch often. I had the car apart a bunch of times and have a good idea…

Don’t make the clutch slip? You keep emphasizing this advice that really doesn’t make sense. The clutch is always going to slip a little bit. That’s inherently how a clutch works. If the flywheel engaged the transmission with no slip, you’d be spinning tires and blowing out gears constantly. I think you meant to say…

Sure. Do you daily drive those vehicles?

Never change, Torch.
