But a 3800lb 500hp muscle car, I’m going paddles.

BOOM! There it is. I am in complete agreement with this statement. Nothing to add, just boosting this comment.

Totally agree. Was very interested in a new BRZ/86 before I ordered the M2. That’s a car I’d never have an auto in. And, if it wasn’t for the absolutely anemic N/A performance at 6,700ft, maybe I would’ve went that way. Other cars would be MT-only for me as well.

Super fun with an auto, lots of tuning

Bro...I love this car...TTRS. I wish they did not get rid of it.

It’s actually a base car with IS38 fixings (and just sold)

Also, crazy that they gave them the review car with a broken clutch pedal.

These guys are okay for an occasional watch, but it’s almost shocking the amount of subscribers they have compared to a lot of (vastly) superior channels.

Of course compared to Throttle House, they’re not anywhere near in the same tier in terms of entertainment, production quality, and information.

Yeah I was just saying in general I really liked the TTRS.

I like the Throttle House guys. I only watched this Straight Pipes review for the Twilight Purple.

I also have a ‘25, coming from a ‘22 Veloster N the suspension is a huge improvement and a primary reason I bought it. Wife hated being a passenger in the Velo, loves the m2. Also, get the ZF I drove both and immediately knew I would be buying my first automatic at 39.

I like the straight pipe guys for their general enthusiasm, but put more stock in the opinions of other reviewers.

Truly impressive.

As true car people start to disappear, we need to stay together and not berate one another with stupid posts like that, lets not argue over what type of transmission is the best. Some cars are better in manual and some are better in automatic.
