You are both fucking morons.


Anyways, it's a car for the gumball race and if you don't know what that is then you don't deserve an explanation.

you still have to shift gears, there just isnt a clutch pedal.
its essentially a clutchless manual with an automatic mode, same as any other supercar nowadays.

the automatic transmission in this:

is very different than the dual clutch transmission in this:

It's called semi-auto... I mean, really? You didn't know that? It's been around for fucking forever, just not as stupid lil flaps on the wheel in cars, for no reason whatsoever.

personally would rather use the clutch and the stick than paddle shifters, but unfortunately semi auto is where all cars are going now...

anyway.  is that thing street legal?

and, can't wait to see the batmobile in gumball as well

Considering that car probably has upwards of 800hp, it would probably get a little sketchy driving with one hand.

the fact that youre trying to argue against me is pretty mindblowing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_manual_transmission

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_transmission

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable_transmission

and of course

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

all fall under automotive transmission.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_transmission

each one is different, each serves a different purpose, he called it an automatic, and id be willing to bet its not a torque converter based automatic transmission.

is it that time of month for you?

Hahahahahaha check early F1 or any early Motorsport for an example of real driving.

Unrelated, how the hell is that thing road legal? It has headlights/taillights but its a straight P1 car, I can't imagine seeing that thing fly by you on the freeway.

Some of the Gumball cars this year are crazy. Jon's and Galag are insane.

That looks badass. Hope he remembers to make it road legal for Gumball though, won't get far without side mirrors, windscreen wipers, plate etc haha.

Woops, I accidently made a reply relevant to OP's post. Silly me.
