But recall reviews of the Testarossa and Countach that described how much force had to be applied to work the clutch. I know someone with a Diablo, and he had a knee replacement (anyone wealthy enough to own a classic Lambo is likely to be old enough to qualify, LOL). He had to quit the car for quite a while (not a big issue for him, he also has an Aventador!).

Thanks for posting that.
I had a good friend with a Pantera. That machine was a severe workout on the left leg. Fun but work. My M2 has DCT. Its quite fun and offers all the beauty of a manual in manual mode with lightning shifts and power application. I am normally a manual driver. DCT is a nice way to drive. Will I own a manual again? Sure depending on the platform.
