Best Shifting Car
My G35 Coupe shifts like a dog gone TRUCK! The shifter shakes too. I installed an engine dampener and it helped a lot but, I drove my friends 07 SI coupe and it was buttery smooth and soooooo much fun. So my question is whats the best manual out there?

the S2k shifter is so good, that after test driving a new 335i and M3, I think that if I do get back into a BM, it will have to be w/their DCT tranny (otherwise a SSK would be the very first mod)

I don't have much seat time in any of the newer MT cars but maybe the S2K has some good family roots cuz my all time favorite manual transmission car (please don't laugh!) was a 1985 Honda Prelude 2.0SI that I bought brand new, That transmission was sweet. Snick-Snick never missed a beat.

I feel you, I have 6mt g coupe too.. I'm actually taking it to the dealer this weekend to look at the tranny, think my synchro for 2nd gear is worn out... its very hard to put into 2nd

Another vote for the S2000 here.
The tranny did not love cold weather though.
To get into reverse on a cold morning, you had to go into fourth and then go for reverse.
I loved shifting the car but living with that stiff clutch in Boston traffic was a bummer.
