Great find! I agree with you that manual is definitely the way to go in a car like this, even if the automated gearbox shifts quicker. Oddly enough, a lot of the R8s I've seen here in NC have been manuals (about 75% of them).

Ah that's disappointing. I never got the chance to see this car in action, but man it was a beauty, and that gated manual shifter was pure art.

I just searched the plate and it looks like it is not there anymore (at least that plate isn't registered). Luckily you got this shot when you did!

Thanks! I haven't seen this car in a couple years unfortunately so I'm hoping it's still around here.

Great spot! I recently was in Davenport on business and saw this car pulling into Lujack's for servicing. What a sound!

Same here. To me, seeing a supercar with a real manual tells me the owner cares more about the driving experience rather than just being seen and posing in a fancy car.
