Ishallmakeit 04/09/20 1:28:48 PM #30:	The new vette looks like some 100k+ hyper supercar, like a ferrari or something, it's amazing, and apparently it starts at only 60k. Yes, that's expensive, but keep in mind some Nissan Maxima trims go for 42k, and some minivans can hit 45k easy. Not bad for a car that can smoke some Lamborghinis, right? The GT500, as powerful as it is, is just a mustang. They're porky, they're not sports cars. It's an amazing car, but it's no Corvette rival. <cite>Ishallmakeit posted [p:937074753] in Do you con...

treewojima 04/09/20 1:28:50 PM #31:	Preferring manual isn't about it supposedly being superior or having better performance, it's about having more of a connection with the car while driving. Same reason I prefer manual or hydraulic steering racks to electric ones. I've driven many new vehicles at my work and the steering and handling feels numb even when compared to my base model 2002 Honda Civic.

Basically you have to neutral drop into the burnout, but because the car has so much grip, it'll turn into a roller. EDIT: You can see it in this video, even the chevy engineers had to give the "we'll get back to you" line when asked how to do a burnout.
