Also, C8 is a beast, I want it! It is utterly :mindblown: for the perf/price. Ultimately would take any 991.1 and up in any green I've seen to date, the dark racing green is :jizz:
I'll probably buy a Z06/ZR1 version IF they don't botch it up. I just can't see buying an automatic from Chevy in a performance car at this point though. If they do end up with a manual transmission I would say the odds that I have one within 6 months of it being out would be about 90%
A manual would be an outstanding option, but I wouldn't shy away from the auto, it's a beast and would be amazing with an extra 300 ponies to an already pretty quick car. I can't wait to see the numbers coming from a Z06/ZR1. There is a C8.R racecar spec'd out with a smaller 5.5TT(?) pretty cool shit.

I really like the DSG in my car, so I'm already assimilated to two pedal life.

:dat: is probably the best option up to 500hp, after that I think power delivery would be better managed with something automated.

I would like to see the launch control in person on the C8 I like going :plaid:

I provided pizza.. apparently they make these things that screw onto the tops of plastic water bottles to turn them into bongs. 5/7 convenient, and I forgot how much nicer smoking from a bong is and having it get filtered a bit.
I like the bowl format vs rolling papes, a bong is just one step up with filtering/cooling to smooth out the hit. I just don't like the cleanup and dealing with the risk of it falling and that nasty water spilling everywhere or the unit shattering. This water bottle idea seems :notbad:

After 5 years of dailying a dsg, it is an amazing transmission compared to most automatics, especially with the uni stage 1 tcu tune. It's great for my area, but I may go back to manual.

Speaking of cars, I might actually still keep my GTI and get my next car with a manual, now that it's getting paid off next month :excited: depending on what i have, I'll probably just use it to derp around DC or road trip to NYC NFG to park by feelers or drunk salvadorian ladies in their camry to bump my bumper. Who knows

Been talking to this gal who is super into plants. Odd hobby, but kinda cool. Went to a nursery with her yesterday and then she helped me repot the fiddle leaf gig I’d gotten a while ago since I fucked it up and it was drowning in the pot/soil I used.
