Gallardo. RWD, manual; no electronic steering, e-brake, or suspension components. Visceral engine with great torque, plenty of power, and redline at 8,500.
Better? For what I want in a weekend sports car, yes. It does pain me a bit, as I have been a die-hard Porsche owner for my entire adult life. And because I will have to start buying Ed Hardy shirts and giant watches.

"Fun" is always going to be a subjective call, but there is one thing that can be stated clearly, I think. If you are "bored" or feel "uninvolved" when driving a 981/991, on-track or off, your problem is not the choice of transmission. You need to see someone with expensive wallpaper before the problem, whatever it is, starts affecting other areas of your life.

Basically a Balboni, however that was a very limited edition (I think 250 for the world?) 2010 model. From 2011 on, the MT has been available as a special order on the RWD LP550-2. So a Balboni without the stripes and other cosmetic fluff.

Hublot Big Bang model for sure. I will have to run that by my new friends at luxury4play.
