The Diablo had just had syncros replaced.. shifter was heavy but slick and mechanical.

Took off early early in the am, hit the coast and went north like our own personal norCal version of Cannonball run. Just nature, a ribbon of asphalt, and two Italian manual v12's.

I think if Lamborghini, as the last NA holdout brought back manuals, people would lose their minds over it.
Finally a post about driving!

I am a slow learner - but you are spot on having massive amounts of cylinders torque sounds of pure muscle has gotten my attention. Never pulled the trigger on an F50 a V12 V10 to your backside - priceless.

Rumors are Ferrari is looking at bringing back manuals wouldn't be surprised to see a Huracan Edition manual they are introducing I believe 6 variants. The Aventador tub has no room for a dual clutch so who knows it's certainly an easy sale.

I think the LamboNante is going to be impressive once we get our hands on one.

I also think that the big issue with the LamboCÃ*n originally was the AWD. I have not driven the 580-2 but the 610-4 had a really awkward diff.

So 54.4 for the Huracan? And what tires were on the 675?

They didn't say for the LT, though they did say hoosiers for the old ZR1, so I'm going to guess its the standard trofeos on the LT. Though if its any indication on such a short track, the GT4 CS did a 54.11, and the driver said the performante could get below 54.00 on trofeos.

wow. if F and and Lambo bring back the gated-manual or any damn manual, I wonder what will happen to the "last manual" cars? F430? now you can pick one up for $40K or a Balboni for $70K. Now that would be something.

Something about Turkish people speaking my language makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like I'm about to puke a bit. But seriously, very impressive acceleration when you couple awd and lightweight. How long before Ferrari adopts a BMW m5-style switchable awd system? Considering that recent video where the Ferrari engineers are heard saying "don't turn on the KERS" while driving their 488 mule... id say the smart money is 100% on next car having two electric motors driving the front wheels. I just pray that means they also do away with the turbo on that motor and let it breath naturally.

Same thing that is happening with the R - it's an easy money grab for factories.

Looks like an Aventador Performante is in the works - adding hp and like aero really like my SV but looking forward to hearing about what's in store.
