Why? because MR is supposed to be more luxurious compared to the GSR counter part. For example, MR has leather while GSR doesn't.

It's going to look, sound, and feel like an automatic.

Ok great. Do you have experience with a DCT or are you just talking out of your **** like most X haters?

Wait for it.......

OK....I wrote up my opinion, and just waiting for SPT to finish his and we will post it as a mini feature tomorrow. I will say that I would have no problem at all buying an MR. While I do like a nice standard shift for a track car, the everyday advantages of the SSt are great and quite fun to drive. More to come.....

Very true. Found this out today that it has 16 lbs of extra sound deadening in the lower portions of the vehicle. Shouldn't effect handling and the advantage of the better suspension outweighs it.

We were going to test the GSR, but the media one became unavailable. Once the media MRs are officially released hopefully later this month, we plan to do a full comparo with them both side by side

Face it dude auto sells better cause most folks dont want to be constantly shifting gears and grinding clutches and blowing trannies in 1 money shift etc... Manual is old school...
