So the manual option signaled to the prospective buyer that the car had a performance orientation even if they drove it off the lot with the automatic. Also manual drivers probably make better "brand ambassadors" as properly tuning a good manually shifted drivers experience is getting harder and harder for…

How much higher? Some say up to 8000 RPM. Which, on a V8, I think we can all agree is bonkers.

And stowaway bats.

This magic supermaterial hasn't seen widespread usage in cars yet but is slowly making its way into automotive production. The C7 Corvette uses Aerogel as a heat insulator for the transmission tunnel, which means that you can buy a car that has NASA materials and pushrods.

Perfect for that Sunday drive to the ISS and back, just be sure to keep an eye out for any errant foam insulation on your way up.

The AMD Jaguar CPU was built more for notebooks and mini PCs, but the bigger issue for the consoles is memory. They both only have 8 Gbs to work with, which is on the low side
