Fun to drive

  1. Do you guys think a 08 gts cvt with intake exhaust and header, be fun to drive would it seem a little quick. If it could run high 15's with i/h/e i will get one what do you guys think?

    cvt is gay, smooth but drones especially if you are gonna get headers and exhaust; i have it and regret it.

    get manual - if you have more funds get something else (obvious); another regret

    if you want a automatic drive, buy the ralliart.
    it has enough power for a automatic transmission.
    If you haven´t the money buy a GTS 5 speed manual.

    6 speed wouldn't make it sense in our 2L 152hp car

    I would like it becuase of the quicker and more shifts. Our first gear is already short enough for normal driving, so it would have to affect 3rd and such. I just like being active when I drive, probably one of the reasons I like manual trannys more. Adds to the fun to drive factor. And if we had six speeds we would likely cruise at lower rpms too, I was surprised when I first saw 3k at 65 in 5th gear. (I think thats what it is)

    a 6 speed manual transmission would be very nice, because than there would be more power in the 3rd and 4th gear.
    and on the highway we could drive with lower rpm.
