So how would you feel about a 7 speed stick shift (rumored to be a next 911 feature)? mikefocke, '01S Sanford, NC - Tuesday, 31 May, 2011, at 7:43:49 pm |
They might as well start using two sticks and call it "doppelstocker." *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 31 May, 2011, at 8:09:31 pm |

Use of technology for its own sake, and ergonomics are often diminished. Laz - Wednesday, 1 June, 2011, at 12:26:14 pm |
The 7-speed is not for you but for the drivers that exercise these cars in the emissions and fuel.. MarcW - Wednesday, 1 June, 2011, at 1:43:24 pm |

+1... or rather -1 on that. *NM* Laz - Wednesday, 1 June, 2011, at 2:47:43 pm |
Six gears is quite enough is my opinion. But the problem is emissions and mileage... MarcW - Wednesday, 1 June, 2011, at 5:59:26 pm |

From a driving experience 6 gears is already overkill in my opinion. I have 4 cars, two have 5 speeds and two have 6 speeds. Any kind of spirited driving only involves the first 4 gears with any of them. I also do some skip shifting with all of them but mostly with the 6 speeds. I prefer the 5 speeds over the 6 speeds and I wouldn't be excited about having to buy a car with 7 speeds.

I wonder what percentage of the 7-speed's theoretical fuel efficiency... Leor ('09S, North of Boston) - Thursday, 2 June, 2011, at 8:40:02 pm |
