If ever there was two videos to prove that manual boxes are on their way out these are them !

Notice the Spyder on PCCB - was the Audi on steels discs?

Did the spyder not lose out on a test against a 360 modena a couple of week back. Really liked them until the modena kick it arse.

360 Modena is a truly amazing car and on the track it should be faster! On the road though both the R8 and Boxster would be better.

To be fair i think it was a road only test and the Modena won. A 2004 spider which can be bought for under £50k.

Do you have the link? I can't imagine the 360 was faster.

I see they did not use a real Spyder ;-)

What no buckets ? well beaten though!

The new ten-spoke rims are the lightest 19-inchers Porsche makes...

Can't believe those Turbo II wheels are lighter than the Spyder ones - bet you didn't see that coming?

The modena won the test because it is a supercar with the looks and soundtrack to match.

Performance wise there was not alot in it, the Spyder edges it.

Taken from the Spyder vs 360 test - not sure I believe it though?

All they did was quote the Porsche info, shame the car tested was not spyder spec, it also had sports seats.

Which goes to show you don't need poncy buckets

Not Spyder spec?
You really are a card!

[rob.kellock]

Yeah but it would have been another 2 seconds quicker with buckets...
