A high performance sedan would likely have less than 10% and it might not be that high.

My point was my car has a DCT and is about as fast as the SS...............and it's not a sports car.

I appreciate your desire for a manual. It's just not likely to happen.......and as always, I hope I'm wrong and they surprise us.
Fen mentioned a rumor of manual trans and magnetic ride for the next model year of the SS.

Would be great if true. But the volume for a manual would be really low on already low volume car.

Maybe the manual trans would help the fuel economy enough to allow them to build more, maybe avoiding GG tax? Then they wouldn't mind increasing the volume a little. If the first model year has been a sales success I would think that would help the chances of adding more options. It's certainly been a success in the magazines, the first battle.

He's got crazy cash lol

The graph looks a little silly because I didn't realize I pushed the dyno button on the opening run as I was bringing the RPMs up and when I realized it, I jumped on it.

My bad. Nervous twitch on a new car lol.

The owner drove down from Tallahassee. All it had for a modification was an over the radiator cold air intake system like the Vararam.

You're wrapped around the axle on this "sports car" thing... I should have said "car with sporting or performance-oriented intentions." That can be a Ferrari, a BMW M3, a Chevelle SS, a Ram SRT-10, an Audi S4, etc.

If they offer the SS in manual transmission, I would start exploring options for selling my thirdgen...
