I have a theory
I am puzzled/amused/amazed by ocasional posts on this forum from people who claim to have trouble "getting the hang" of shifting a CC. Talked to a F-M salesman about this phenomenon, they experience it all the time during demo rides. He said invariably, it is a person who has never driven a stick shift in their lives before.
So the problem is not teaching them to pull on the right paddle to upshift and to pull on the left paddle to downshift, although he said some are challenged even by this concept.
Rather, the problem is getting them to understand WHY you need to shift and when. Totally foreign concept to them.
My theory is that such people can't dribble a basketball, either.
I know that may sound arrogant. And who am I to criticize people who primarily buy it for maximum valet appeal. But ....hey, we're talking about a sports car here??????? Sorta, kinda, like maybe, like, performance-oriented driving???? Where the car performs better if you optimize the revs/shifts? A totally foreign concept to some, apparently.
