My '68 p/u was right and down, the Sandrail was left and down, the guy at work has an '04 Dodge that is right and up, so why not have one that is left and up??

| Quote (Ziggy @ Oct. 31 2006,9:18 am) | | Quote (AZKC @ Oct. 31 2006,8:00 am) | I should have clarified 5spd stick shifts, lots of 4 speeds were left and up. But who drives 4 speeds anymore, they are so 70's  |
Think about it Kevin..............how likely would it ever be to accidently hit reverse in a aggressive driving manner with it next to first apposed to next to 3rd,4th or 5th?
The Ultimate Driving Machine design take alot into consideration since they are very successful race cars too. |
Yeah Kevin, think about that...!!!!

I'm still playing the over engineered card Â
Besides real race cars have Paddle Shifters |
A $100 option on the new 3 series models, and most other models can have them too.. 
The high-perf models(M Power models) have the paddle shifters standard.......those are true F-1 style manual trannys with no clutch pedal  ask River Royal, I took him for a ride in an M5 with SMG tranny.(Sequential Manual Gearbox)

| Quote (AZKC @ Oct. 31 2006,8:52 am) | Speaking of over-engineered The top is also quite tricky to get down  much less get it under the fockin cover    Unlatch this, unhook that lift this up, now lift this up, now push this down, now fold this in, now latch this We could put the tops down in our Vettes with one hand sitting in the seat |
Be glad it was a manual roof on that car, the electric ones bent stuff.
.
New cars only take a push of the button and about 30 seconds.
Next year they'll have a hardtop retractable roof

I haven't seen that, although I know SAAB has done it and did some real world testing on that, afterall Saab does build some of the gnarliest fighter jets in the world...
