I am fine with slick/close gear change i think, been driven manual since i passed my driving test.
But not sure my friend though, huge challenge for him!

Maybe i bought his car at the end...hahahaa...you never know

Both AP1 and AP2 cannot drive slowly. You need to keep the rpm in 6000 and up all the time.
I lost 12 points within 2 months when driving DC5

S2K is a car designed for drift....or even rotating
You must familiar with heel & toe in order to deliver its power....
Also, its interior is too crowdy even to me.

But because the seat position is quite close to the rear wheel, its quite easy for the driver to feel the dynamic of the car.

very good eassy about the S2K

I think they need to make a M7 just like MB S class AMG
