Nope the last manual Lambo I think was the very last generation Diablo SV's that was made in 2001, after that they went manumatic, auto's due to the fact that they was far better at harnessing and hooking up with 600+ HP out of the engines, same with Ferrari's it's almost universal go past 600 a manual flat out does not make sense other than the chest thumpers thinking they are cool. Nothing wrong with it other than you will never get the performance numbers that a paddle shifting auto tranny can get.
You can get gallardo and mercialego in manual

Really like the idea of an AC cobra. How are the prices on a good one?
Almost went this route, I found that the newest gen Factory 5 is the best chassis, thing is they can be slapped together pure garbage or can be a gorgeous car. Id suggest going to the factory 5 forum and search their classifieds as usually theres a build thread where you can be the judge

You can get manual lamborghinis all the way through the 2014 MY.

1. Gen 4 Dodge Viper (possibly ACR) snake skin green or blue with white stripes

2. Gen 5 Dodge Viper

3. Porsche 911 Carrera

Anything else 2 door, manual transmission and more exotic...

Wanted to get everyones thoughts on this...thanks!
I'd hit up a road course before selling the ZR1 and see how you like it.

If you do get Hooked I would get a Gen IV ACR since its a dedicated track car and more uncomfortable than a ZR1. I would not even think of the 911, unless its a GT3, but those are either too expensive and new ones do not come in manual.

Sucks that the RS7 has spoiled you LOL.

How about a superformance ford gt? Order it with a roush injected 427 Windsor. That would be a fun car and their value really doesn’t drop

This is why I said I wasn't sure, thought you could into the Gallardos, but I'm terrible with the Italian stuff.

Quit ****ing around OP and show us what you’re REALLY made of.

Lambo or new (near new) GT3 RS.
