I agree about real drivers' cars needing manual gear shift and a clutch pedal
that's why nobody buys automatic gearboxes in all Europe, it's considered to be something for old retired people and taxi drivers who drive all day long
changing the gears oneself is half the pleasure of driving
apparently most test drivers hate the semi-auto on the Lambo Murcielago and urge potential buyers to stick with the manual stick, since it's for men who enjoy driving and getting the change right

well it doesn't qualify as a manual in my book either, but we'd be talking about some really tough clutch and sturdy gearchange, which most people wouldn't be strong enough to handle, you'd have to be a body builder to work the clutch or have it servo operated
besides gear-change wouldn't be lightning quick as it is in a semi-auto like in the Veyron, and that would make it's monumental acceleration be somewhat non-linear

You missed my point! I already know it has a double clutch tranny.. even though they are real manuals, I don't consider them manuals. Hitting some buttons to change gears doesn't qualify as manual in my book. A real drivers car has a shifter, and a clutch PEDAL. Think about it.

amen to that, I agree completely
McLarenMercedes (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
why would it need a third pedal when it's a semi-automatic with paddles on the wheel for changing gears automatically?

only a total ignorant and uneducated fool would go apeshit as if 1018hp was so much more than 1001hp (which in reality is more like 1060hp)
you never went to college and know zero of engineering,not to mention you lack some goddamn common sense
you are merely stating numbers not realizing it makes you look like a fool if you can't back them up by elaborating on them
stick to your videogames and skating and leave the engineering to people with knowledge and education

not to mention the CCXR has a torque of 782 Ib/ft whereas the Veyron has 920 Ib/ft (almost 20percent more), and TORQUE is definietly needed to battle the wind drag (which increases squarely and is the reason superior aerodynamics play a vital part)
besides the Veyron is LIMITED to 253mph because that's the safe limit for the tires, above that they might shred (killing the driver), de-restricted it might reach 260mph test-drivers have said and no journalist has doubted them |
