I have one of those, including the 5 speed stick, and I have to say she makes my heart go pitter patter every day. The inline six mated to the manual transmission... oh the sounds she makes. Version 2.0 of the R107 comes with powerful running gear and a precise suspension set up. She's rip roaring loud but subtlety smooth. When you do the gears right, you spend only a few seconds of pushed-back-in-your-seat streaming bliss rocketing through the six's silky power band. Twenty to seventy in second gear or fifty to one hundred in third gear is a serious, hold-onto-the-steering rush.
