X-Men Shifting sound
Hey guys. This is my first post here and I don't have my RX-8 yet. I am going to get a black one in about two months. One question that I can't figure out the answer to is the sound of the shifting in the X-Men 2 movie. I love the sound of the shifting in the RX-8 in that movie. Is that something aftermarket?
Sorry if the question is stupid but I am not a manual transmission guy. I currently have a 04 mazda 6i AT. I am getting a Manual RX-8 so this will be my first manual car.
Thanks for any help.

That is a quite a question and I'll leave it at that.... I saw the movie long ago and can't recall what you're talking about. But if you seen/heard it in a movie, I wouldn't put much wieght behind it..

Yeah, I'm not sure of the noise the car in the movie makes, but the stock shifters on the 8 make a nice loud "ker-chunk" noise when you shift them. Man, I love that noise.

Dunno. there are these guys called foley artists that muck around with movies. So, when that guy punches that other guy... thats really a guy punching some lettuce. There is a clicking noise when you shift, though, but like it was said, you take it for granted quickly. And you'll only get the sound with the manual tranny.

Yeah,
I remembered seeing that movie and loving the sound of the car shifting. That was one of the reason's that started me wanting the RX-8 (it's the little things). I'm going for the manual although I haven't touched a manual for about 6 years.

Personally, I was disappointed when I found out the center dash didn't have a cell phone holdster that would retract the phone into the dash when in storage....damn them.......damn them!

It's actually in the car tho, not just a mockup.

^ If you want to do that, you'd have to sacrifice your stereo head and controls. I wonder how Cyclops was still able to play his N'Sync CD in there with all that celphone holder machnism installed?

Thanks khtm, I hope so. I have always been a big car guy and get so into cars. So why the hell am I always in 4cyl auto's?
I think what really swayed me was using the manual shifter in my Mazda6. I always push it over into manual and never let the car shift for me. So much more fun.
