FTL

GTR fanboys the world over are up in arms once again, battling naysayers of their beloved budget supercar. It seems that their automatic transmissions have been failing left and right leaving owners with a long list of CEL codes, and dealerships that won't fix them under warranty, because driving it like a supercar... isn't covered by a warranty.

The standard automatic transmission in the GTR has long been the scourge of internet car forums, even before it was released. It just so happens to be the only transmission you can get in the GTR; a rather geriatric feature for a car that will murder all kinds of Italian and German iron on the Neurenberger Ring.

Manual transmission theocracy: 1

Geriatric Fanboy Supercar: 0

This makes me smile. Just a little bit.
