Lol, I saw that on SF, was gonna post it then was like naw... no one here gives a fuck.

The car is unreal. Has everything on it that I love to. Big twins, AWD, v10 aka. amazing exhaust note, oh yeah and a TRUE 6 speed manual transmission.

I think what was most impressive was its 60-130 time of only 3.5 seconds. FUCKING unreal.

I love seeing these things. So badass.

Elaborate pleeze

It's that thing mated to the engine, it includes differing levels of gearing, in this case 6.

Yes, it includes a driver operated clutch pedal. Not a sequential.

Those auto rev matching boxes are getting to me as well... such as Nissan's new 6 speed in the 370z. I know there is a button to engage and disengage it.. but removing the skilled driver from the car.. ohhh what fun.

Well, i guess what im asking is: What is a FALSE 6 speed transmission?

Flappy paddles.

Yup. As much as I love the GT-R, its sequential box wouldnt do it for me. I dont care if it can physically shift faster than I can, it just wont be as fun. Same goes for the F1 boxes in Ferrari's and other sequential boxes in BMW's, Veyron, Lambos.. ect ect..

They call these boxes a manual because it does actually have a clutch unlike an autotranny. It just uses an electronic single to activate a cylinder that operates the throw out/clutch fork through the slap of a paddle. So when your sitting at a stop light in 1st gear, and let off the brake the car does not move like an auto would. It doesnt move until you hit the accelerator which engages the clutch and then off you go.

Just not my cup... yet... maybe an f430 would change my mind? hmm.

Fuck yes! F430 is the shit. The F500 has been spied already.

F355 Challenge will always be my favorite Ferrari though.
