    Did my wife break my CT5 Blackwing?

    thanks, that is actual very good advice..how do you like your z06 compared to Blackwing ....I just got mine too, but only has 230miles...(I blame on no winter tires). Wait, are you the one traded in C8 and Blackwing for z06/z07 in the corvette forum??

    Did my wife break my CT5 Blackwing?

    So long story short, I signed up the spring mountain owner's school for my wife, which is happening in two weeks...and she is very rusty about driving manual... Today i had to teach her some basic tracking driving in some empty back road: for example: brake, downshift and turn in And since she...

    Has anyone driven 992 Manual?

    trying to do 2k rpm shifting from now; takes me a while to get used to it. once the car passes the break in , i will probably drive in sport mode only : ) thanks all for chiming in. great help

    Has anyone driven 992 Manual?

    okie, i’m 87.9% sure i figured it out why. the small transmission jerk only happened when i drive in the city. since i’m so used to blackwing manual shift and larger horsepower (apologize to my GTS,the horsepower is not that impressive compared to LT4), i only touch/feather the pedal when i...

    Has anyone driven 992 Manual?

    thanks, that makes sense…but the ship has sailed, i actually traded in my 2021 C4S PDK for GTS manual. i guess i will just need to make more money for 992.2 manual

    Has anyone driven 992 Manual?

    thanks, im thinking maybe i got spoiled with blackwing throttle when upshift. all i need to do i touch the gas pedal when engage once passing the biting point. For this car, i need actually use muscle. Do you feel the same? Yeah, wish i could get GT3 manual. I hate the car shortages, now test...

    Has anyone driven 992 Manual?

    Hi guys, Just took EU delivery for my 992 GTS a week ago. The car is amazing. but i found the clutch feel or the biting point is weird compared to CT5 Blackwing. I don’t even know how to describe it: when i upshift in normal settings, i have to really feather the clutch and give more than 2000...

    5BW Owners, should i trade in IS500 for 5BW

    okay, after 760 miles, I finally had a chance to send this car to 6000RPM in 2nd gear probably 5000RPM in 3rd gear (had to warm up my winter tries for one hr in Boston area). 0 Regrets traded in IS500; such a different beast. No comparison between those two.
