With the LSD I could see the car putting all the power down and snapping quite sideways if you are at all out of line. Without the LSD one wheel is likely to spin the power away so you don’t get into trouble so quickly?
I like the modern auto boxes. With ZF6 in the Coupe it allows you have the GT experience if you are not up for a fight. If you have a clear safe road I love using the big metal lever in sport mode and use it manually nearly all the time. With the natural smooth Torque curve of a naturally aspirated engine the manual would be fine. With the sudden and massive torque curve of the IL6 turbo I would imagine you would chew through a few clutches if you are not careful. The power of the S2 through the manual is easier to manage than the Coupe because you have total control. If you are in a hurry (not a panic) it may as well be a four speed as this does everything. The engagement also makes it feel a lot quicker in my mind.
I think the drive to autos is as much to allow high numbers of ratios and the ability to hit emissions through best gear and low revs/high torque?
It looks like I am going to have to try o e out. I was hoping to wait for one with some audiable teeth if such a combination can exist?
