RWD + manual is what i need to change my dream car from 458 to this gallardo ..that V10 music...

dodge viper why would manuals suck in any car? I think it's your logic that sucks. Also '69 Boss 302 ftw.

I think I'm in love with this car. I've always loved the Gallardo, but the fact that it's one of the last supercars ever with a manual transmission makes it even better. I don't think my life will be complete until I drive one of these. I love it.

This episode was unbelievably good, I like the fact that you make your watchers sensitive to the problem, that the future should preserve the combination of RWD + open manual gearbox + combustion engine

This videa was made on November 28, 2012. Its now almost 2018 and manuals are getting more and more rare. The C7 Corvette and some Porsches are the only big time manuals left. Very sad to see the Titans of the road die.

When you nail that perfect shift and when downshifting while heel and toeing there is something that makes you feel that you played part in driving that car fast. The satisfaction you get is unrivaled by any double clutch gearbox out there. You feel more in control.
