Love the car and all but, my only complaint about alot of these new Super cars recently (Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes/MacLaren SLR, Veyron...) is they only come in auto transmissions. Ok so it's an automanual, what the heck is that? It's still an automatic. To me, unless it's got that 3rd pedal on the floor known as the clutch, It's an automatic. A true sports car to me has a stick and a clutch. JMO.
Yes I understand that a manual can't handle some of the horse power these cars are putting out (so the manufacturer claims anyway) but dammit, I say if we can put a man on the moon then why the heck can't we build a tranny that can handle a measly 1000hp.:035:
