I have noticed that. Right up until they grab their slip from the house and see that the <<<<WINNER was on the L99.

Then it's a bunch of excuses about wheel hop , bad launches and poor track prep or someone vomited in their lane right before launch and they spun em'. Then it's on to the hero runs they had LAST time when you were not there.

No i am not bashing the LS3 owners in any way. But, you have to admit this happens all too often when they lose to an L99. It's never just a good old hey you got me. Always an excuse why rather than admit defeat. Oh and defeat happens alot more than people wish to admit.

Doesn't count, he's probably paid to say it.

What I don't understand is how an L99 ever loses. How do you screw up pushing the right pedal to the floor? Accidentally turn off the nannies? Forget to take your left foot off of the left pedal?

Yep it's like winning a race against a one legged man saying your bad ass! MANuals take skill. Autos, ANYONE can drive including that 8 yr old you saw running through the store earlier.

This is true. In fact, no one should need to drive an auto. Just hook up some servo controls and the internet and pilot it around like a UAV. Wouldn't even have to leave the couch.

Hate to break it to you but ANYONE can drive a manual too.

Did you go to manual college? Do you have a diploma or a special license to drive a manual?

Dude (or dudette) you have apparently accomplished something that very few elite people in the world have managed.

Congrats...

Dont let that chip on your shoulder fall off and break your right foot. You won't be able to drive to your "i'm inadequate meetings"

But that's 'stick' guy.

The kind of guy who asks you if it's a stick at a gas station. It's a badge of honor to drive a stick. In fact 'stick guy' doesnt' even have to be asked if it's a stick. He usually will volunteer that info on his own. It's a really really hard thing to shift gears.
