i have a 12 divided by 2

I guess when someone ask what motor it has you not allowed to say it's got an 8 or it's got a 6 either.

Number 3 · 11-02-2009, 08:12 PM

Does it count that the torque converter locks?

greenrail · 11-02-2009, 08:12 PM

Oh Puhleeze! Not this again!

This is a tradition since way back when. I don't think it is worth going on and on about. Actually, what the heck difference does it make!

Sheesh!!!

If some of you younger and have a problem with it, Oh Well!!!!!

When many of us car folks say six speed, four speed, five speed etc. We know about what we are talking.

And yeah, I am an old coot.! 59 years old and damn proud to own a Camaro!

M6...really? I mean who is going to know the order code for a GM transmission unless you are an enthusiast or have ordered one? The average American is going to first thing of a BMW when they hear "M6".

How about this one, "Hey man, I bet my M6 will beat your A6" as in a BMW racing an Audi. Anyone think of that?

To the OP....you're a nut job.....and I mean that in the funniest of ways as I sit here pondering why the MODS have not closed this worthless waste of space (and why I'm bored enough to actually contribute to it) or moved it to Post-WA!

How about we return to our original programming and discuss why turbos and better than super-chargers and which aftermark exhaust sounds better

Hey, I bet my 6-speed will beat yours!!

(Note to self, another 5 minutes of my life wasted uselessly)

i suppose you mean because you are not claiming a design? V8, W8, V6, I6, boxer?

Around car people like at the track i usually just say it's an LS3, then they look in the car... "oh nice, you got the manual, what's your favorite gear?"

Do people really ask that? what's your favorite gear? that just seems so stupid to me.
