Two that spring to mind for me are the C63 6.2 V8 and R35 GTR, and I would love to experience both those with a three pedal Manual gearbox.

What's your choices?

Ferrari 458

Jag F Type V6S

Manuals are needed on sports cars
The Ferrari 458 is a great shout, I think you can get the normal F-Type V6 with a manual...and it's a shame the V8 model isn't offered with one too.

Yes and the current Clio RS going Auto didn't go down that well...with pretty much everybody.

C32 AMG, E46 CSL, C63 AMG
The E46 CSL is certainly a car in desperate need of a three pedal manual...from what I've read about it's SMG gearbox.

Most large GT's. I know there would be no market these days for them but I really like the idea of comfort, a large V8 or V12, and a manual 'box.

Something like CL500.
This is one of the reasons why I absolutely love the V12 Vantage, and the fact it came with three pedals.

This pretty much sums up this thread

why are people so obsessed in there being a knob to fiddle with in a car they have never even driven?
I would have definitely purchased a C63 AMG instead of my Manual E92 M3...if it had been offered with a manual, and that was my point.

Plenty love the E46 CSL because of its SMG for sure, but it would have been nice to have been given a choice though.
