street cred. if one doesn't drive a manual, but owns a manual, that makes them an enthusiast!

Exactly. This car will be in their collection because "they get it".

Is that the car maker's fault?
With that logic nobody should bother making a performance car that costs more than $500k.

Some hypercar manufacturers make a car with the goal of being the fastest or having the top speed record or being the most beautiful, and that is also funny, but it sounds funny that Murry is putting a six speed in a hypercar, so he can cater to the hypercar driving purists, as if that exists. This is engineering masturbation.

You definitely have points. I consider myself pretty "in the know" with the auto industry. Then one day I went to Ferrari's website and they had cars listed in their line up that I've never heard of. LOL

I think one of the most interesting features is the clutch actuated power assist for the steering. That's a unique solution.

Track-only GMA T.50S revealed
"The T.50S is set to be 100kg lighter than the already super-svelte T.50, just 890kg on GMA's numbers, and will also have a more potent Cosworth V12, this able to make up to 730hp thanks to internal changes and a ram-air intake. But those numbers are merely impressive; the next is stunning: the car's combination of active and passive aerodynamics mean it will be able to generate up to 1,500kg of downforce." PistonHeads

Love Harry's Garage. Anybody else follow the rebuild of the Espada recently? Or his drive in the Lancia Fulvia? (technically an FF boxer)
