You'll just floor it and hear a near constant rpm like on a prius...awful experience! And if you're in manual mode, you'll just blister the hell out of your finger tips from clicking the paddles to death going up and down the gears!

I have an 8sp ZF Z4 on loan at the moment whilst my 235 makes it's way over the pond from Germany and it is ridiculous. As an auto it is very good, but manual mode with 8 gears :roll eyes:
I test drove an auto 235 and was left a bit bemused… couldn't fathom how a car a fair bit quicker than my Cayman S felt slower and dull… drove a manual and bingo loved it…
