Ohhh yes! Look, I’m not an EV enthusiast but this car might change my mind. I love the way it looks from every angle. Just needs a trapper keeper background to complete the look.

    I’ve raced everything under the sun. Is there actually an argument you’d like to make or just personal attacks?

      Your argument is it’s about the platform and it’s not. Learning a track and maintaining speed helps with a limit.

      Everyone I’ve talked to, raced with, learned from had all agreed. That’s why they don’t race DCTs or CVTs in “auto” mode. The platform isn’t the issue, it’s the extra layer of control.

      And you be fair you haven’t offered an argument other than to say I’m wrong which isn’t an argument but a disagreement. And when you didn’t provide anything in the form of an argument other than to say I’m wrong.

        Your argument is it’s about the platform and it’s not.

        I’m arguing that you can’t just continue driving a car the way you used to because it’s what you’re used to. Are you gonna jump into a fighter jet and get it in the right gear before going around a corner also?

        Learning a track and maintaining speed helps with a limit.

        Exactly. Your speed. Not your gear. Your speed shows up on this thing called a speedometer.

        That’s why they don’t race DCTs or CVTs in “auto” mode.

        1. Do you know what a CVT is? Auto mode is the only mode they have…

        2. No transmission is used in auto mode for reasons I’ve already explained. The engine needs to be in the proper part of the powerband when exiting the corner. Try pulling out of a corner in same and you’re gonna have a tough time. An automatic trans can’t predict the future. As I’ve already explained, EV’s don’t have this limitation. They (typically) only have one gear because they have a functionally-infinite powerband.

        it’s the extra layer of control.

        There’s no such thing.

        And you be fair you haven’t offered an argument

        I mean you can keep saying that but we both know it’s not true. You haven’t offered any argument other than “it’s what I’m used to” and “some people told me”.

          I think we’re taking past each other at this point as your counter arguments are missing the point I’m trying to make.

          I’m glad you’re a car enthusiast and I’ll just move on. Have a great long weekend if you’re in NA.
