Actually the C mod has a four speed transaxle with dogs instead of synchros allowing shifts without touching the clutch. The clutch is needed only for takeoff. The shift is as quick as the blink of an eye.
I did once have a 66 corvair with the powerslide....very poor combination.

Real men hitch horses up to their carriages, horseless carriages are not for gentlemen.

I think the election already happened and they are counting the vote. He lost but does not realize it yet.

That number dropped to 1% for 2019. The vote happened .... you lost. Odds are over the next few years the manual trans will vanish altogether.

I heard that the number of cars equipped with drum brakes dropped just as precipitously during that same period, ruining the pleasure of driving for drum-brake aficionados...

I'm surprised how many cars still have drum-brakes.

I remember as a kid when my father would drive through deep puddles in our 1964 Imperial and the water would make the drum brakes magically go away. Fun times...

I didn't vote at all in 16 so you can't blame me for Trump either. My choice won here so it didn't rely equate to anything. That very low percentage is due to it being a percentage of all cars. I'm sure the percentage of performance cars is way higher. I believe someone mentioned 20% of c7 were manual. If there's chocolate and vanilla and only 20% of sales are chocolate, they still aren't going to piss away 20% by eliminating it completely. 1-2% sure. Sent from my SM-J737A using Tapatalk
