I think the philosophy here is that it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

That and you learn how to drive it, then mod it for more power and learn how to drive it again, then tune it some more, etc.

But yeah, it should have an option for a tarbo at least.

>>17205705
looks like someone tried to make a cool car but wasn't creative enough

>>17204129
People on the Jag enthusiast forums have manual trans kits available for these.

They say that the car is completely transformed by it. Like, if you have the means, do it, and you'll have a beast of a roadster that's about 1000% cooler than a Miata.

Nah, bro, they're alright. If it had a 5, or even 6 speed it would be great. Rear wheel drive would be cool too, I guess, but for a daily driver in a state where it snows I kind of need front wheel.

Early V12s had a 5 speed and the i6 was available with a 5 speed

Also the v12 had a 4L80E from 1993 onwards. It was a huge improvement.

Fairly simple to put a manual behind the v12 as well.

>>17211923
It's fine though, that's what the side scoop is for. The only way you'd possibly overheat it is by sitting in stop-and-go traffic in auto mode. You need to put it in neutral or keep your foot on the brake enough that the transmission does that itself. Dragging the clutch with your foot lightly on the brake will kill it.

>>17211982
>that's what the side scoop is for
dunno lad. many reviewers said the 4c's transmission still overhead no matter what.

>>17211989
It's possible in stop-and-go traffic only, there are no problems at speed because it's engaged. It helps to not inch up every time the car in front of you moves when in traffic. On the track or an open road, it should never overheat even if you push the car.

That said, a lot of reviewers don't like the 4C because it's a bit too compromising for most people. For example:
