    RWD + manual is what i need to change my dream car from 458 to this gallardo ..that V10 music...

    • @SupremeShuckle

      dodge viper why would manuals suck in any car? I think it's your logic that sucks. Also '69 Boss 302 ftw.

    Manual should always remain at least as an option. Keep cars true!

      that's why Porsche is amazing. they still offer manuals for the reason that they know ppl still want them.

      I thought every Gallardo version has a manual version.

    • @farishanafiah8461
      @farishanafiah8461 Год назад +1

      ​@@drepop803 Exactly. Just look at the 981 Cayman GT4 - the manual version sold out more than PDK. That pretty much says it all.

  • @adnanalagic

    I would do anything to drive that Lambo with the manual box. If I was rich bastard I would always go for manual supercars.

    • @NikoBell12
      @NikoBell12 8 лет назад +3

      +adnanalagic Me too. A manual R8, manual Gallardo, manual F430. But what I really want is a manual 599. Those things costs as much as the GTOs!

  • @jackghnj
    @jackghnj 10 лет назад +23

    Its sad that the Classic Stick is getting switched for paddles. Knowing to drive something with a manual gearbox is a great feeling aside from actually driving something with a manual gearbox.

  • @namejockey
    @namejockey 11 лет назад +7

    I just LOVE the sound of that shifter! It's like a well oiled gun or an expensive lock. Very nice!

  • @joshlewis5065
    @joshlewis5065 6 лет назад +3

    This videa was made on November 28, 2012. Its now almost 2018 and manuals are getting more and more rare. The C7 Corvette and some Porsches are the only big time manuals left. Very sad to see the Titans of the road die.

  • @okbuddyjarvis
    @okbuddyjarvis 11 лет назад +3

    I think I'm in love with this car. I've always loved the Gallardo, but the fact that it's one of the last supercars ever with a manual transmission makes it even better. I don't think my life will be complete until I drive one of these. I love it.

  • @nottrueuser
    @nottrueuser 11 лет назад +3

    This episode was unbelievably good, I like the fact that you make your watchers sensitive to the problem, that the future should preserve the combination of RWD + open manual gearbox + combustion engine

  • @BRAINFxck10
    @BRAINFxck10 7 лет назад +4

    The 550-2 w/manual is one of the greatest cars Lamborghini has ever made!

  • @MartinMarsiBooks

    This car's manual box may give such a great mechanical feel.

    @freedbeefpontoons 11 лет назад

    Thumbs up young 'un! Didn't know how to drive a manual when i bought my first car, but that didn't stop me from purchasing a M/T equipped vehicle. And that's all i've owned since. Haven't regretted it for a moment.

  • @Spartan168
    @Spartan168 11 лет назад

    there will never be anything more satisfying than executing a perfectly rev matched heel toe downshift right before a turn, clipping the apex and accelerating out in the right gear.

  • @farishanafiah8461
    @farishanafiah8461 Год назад +1

    I'm more than happy to have a Gallardo 550-2 in Spyder form with manual gearbox. That is my perfect combo.

  • @cypriotpilot
    @cypriotpilot 11 лет назад

    When you nail that perfect shift and when downshifting while heel and toeing there is something that makes you feel that you played part in driving that car fast. The satisfaction you get is unrivaled by any double clutch gearbox out there. You feel more in control.

    @kwonsikpark9468 10 месяцев назад +1

    He was spot on by saying it's is a supercar bargain then. 10 years later as of today in 2023, an LP generation Gallardo w/ a manual gearbox would cost at least a quarter of million dollars.

  • @sam_scott_85
    @sam_scott_85 11 лет назад

    So perfect, exactly the way a supercar should be set up. The shifter just looks so right in the cabin too, rather than those 3 buttons that grace the e-gear center console. So much more majestic.

  • @Jazril
    @Jazril 11 лет назад +1

    It's not about the speed of gear switching. It's about the feeling when you switch.

  • @Driftuner
    @Driftuner 11 лет назад +1

    most people would say that u cant compare these cars, but IMO u can..u buy such a car for one thing: fun! and i am not saying the GTR is no fun, its just that it is too much..these "supercars" nowadays are waay too overloaded with electronics..the GTR is leader is this class...yes yes even with all those electronics the car still feel very "analog", but the problem is knowing that everything ur doing is not u as a good driver, but computers..the BRZ/FRS is pure, simple, analog..great! i love it!

  • @JoshA7fold
    @JoshA7fold 11 лет назад

    This video was perfection. Man being born in 93 i've never had to learn to drive stick and it saddens me. Whenever i buy myself my first new car i'm going to make sure its got a "manual gear box" as the Europeans would say

    ..the best thing about Lamborghini is that they don't develop...but they EVOLVE...and even if a model is somehow a decade old (which in supercars term means ancient), somehow it doesn't look like it...that's what make Lamborghini a legend...exclusive...and with this 'old-school-back-to-basic' LP 550-2, it's just getting better..and better...

    Loved that clack clack sound with the v10 growl in the background. Should be a future classic - not as fast across ground as the Maclaren but still blindingly fast and more of an occasion. If you just want to travel faster buy a plane ticket.

    Even when I play GranTurismo or NFSShift2 I use the manual+clutch configuration, it does not matter how fast, precise, paddle shifters, 7gears or 8gears the semiautomatic gearboxes are, I love the sensation me doing the shifts on videogames and in real life.
