Almost every exotic is now paddle-shifted. Like it or not, working your own clutch and gears will soon be like setting your spark advance on your wood steering wheel, and squeezing your own horn
LOL

We all will go the way of the dinosaurs. You think our air cooled cars will be ignored by the general gear head public - like the model ts and the 30s / 40s cars are already by today's gearheads?

I agree that $25k is too much for that car. You can get a nice one with under 100k miles for $35k. Anything need rebuild on that car and you are out >10k in a heartbeat. But who knows, it may have another 50k left in it. Someone please buy and keep us in the loop.
