Either the one I drove was really abused or I'm too soft That clutch was killing me and so was the gearbox.

All porsche turbo's are this way for me. After the 2 or 3 quick accelarations I'm done and ready to move on.

I was unhappy with all the Aston's I've driven. I've always thought they were pretty cars but they do nothing for me behind the wheel.

I wouldn't name a particular car, but I'd say any none-manual gearbox out there...

The old school Dodge Viper. It was my dream car. Was disappointed when I finally got a chance to drive one. I still want one though lol. An ACR or GTS in blue
