Am posting an update on my driving experience of the GT, Hoping it will help anyone trying to decide which way to go. On my drive home from the dealership I was really starting to think I made a mistake going with the GT. Started with me spending 10 minutes trying to get car in reverse before I had to go back in and ask for help. I had remembered something about pulling up to get in reverse but I pretty much missed everything he was saying as I was just staring outside in disbelief at the downpour going on outside. I ordered car in November for A late March Del. figuring I would get car just in time for spring time here in the Northeast. Then the big day comes for me to get my car, April 1st which happened to be the day that set records for rain here, We got over 6" in less than 24 hrs. Like a dope I had been pulling up on the gear shift and he tells me about the little ring under the knob. So get that problem out of the way and start my trip home which requires me to take the Mass pike, a very busy road. visibility was very tough with driving rains and spray from all the big trucks, and like all roadsters, spyder has big blind spots. Car seemed to behaving badly as engine kept revving as I would try to slow, Then realized my Basketball sneakers were catching the gas pedal as I would press on brake, was getting very frustrated thinking of how easy my M3 SMG was to drive and why did'nt I order the Cambio. Once I got home I just parked car in garage and really started to wonder if I make a mistake getting GT. The next day more rain so did not drive but went on to the F-chat board and found out I need to switch to driving sneakers and ordered a pair online. This morning the weather finally improved enough to go out for nice long drive most of it with top down even though it was only 42 degrees out. Found a pair of dress shoes that were narrow tipped and what a huge difference it made, had no more problems with pedals. Once I got use to the dog leg type shift from 1st to 2nd, just need to make sure you pull the shifter towards you, it went in very nice and all other gear changes were great. Roads were finally dry and I really got to get on car for the first time and quickly remembered why I wanted the GT. After driving my M3 SMG for two years it felt great to get that feeling of really having full control of car again. I know both transmissions offer you the same power but it just feels like having the clutch gives you an extra boost. I found this also when I would drive friends M3 with stick. I hope this helps anyone trying to decide as I know first hand how tough A decision it is to make and how little info is out there on the GT. One last little funny story, My wife was looking at my car and then she saw the Alum race pedals and told me I should cut up some pieces of rubber and cement them on :roll:
