[s-cars] speaking of R8s

[Vincent Frégeac]

Definitely manual. Just have to look at the tach needle to tell, especially
when he downshifts. I don't think any tip or even semi-auto will have the
rpm plunge that low when downshifting.

The sound in the video does not sound accurate. I have never heard that high

tone clicking from the shifter when shifting. It does have a noise when 
shifting hard through the gears when hitting the gates but it a lower tone 
than in the video. Also the engine tone is high toned also. It has more 
grunt sound when actually driving hard. I'm sure the video cam does not have

a very good mic. Then again, I never actually try to listen what every tone 
sounded like when driving hard in a R8. More focused on keeping my eyes on 
the road!

Also, this car is a manual. If it were R-Tronic, he would have used the 
paddles on the wheel, but there are none. Never seen R-Tronic without the 
paddles.
