[quote=“JayS,post:10,topic:27794"”] Amen brother. And yes, I’ve driven one. The SMG in the M3, just like Viper’s car. My old boss had a 740iL and when he brought it in for service they gave him an M3 SMG as a loaner. Since I was one of the few people he knew would could remotely show him what that car could do we took a 2 hour lunch and gave it a thorough test drive. It’s a neat toy, but after about 45 minutes I was dying for a clutch pedal and a real stick. I’ve said it over and over… To me SMG is like playing Gran Turismo. I know it’s faster at the track, and faster in a drag race, and just plain faster in general. I don’t care. To me having a fast car is about the fun and challenge of controlling it well. Being a second slower around TMP is never going to cost me a race, since I’m not racing anyone, so I’d rather have my laps be about having the most fun.
