Perhaps some day you'll be able to order a car with a drive-by-wire manual tranny (really a PDK in disguise).

Underneath you'll find a PDK clutch and gearbox. In the footwell you'll find a clutch pedal that's attached to a wire and a throttle that can be programed to give non-RPM matched inputs to engine if driver wants to do that.

There will be settings for tardy clutch, or too-much-too-little revving for throttle in downshift mode.

Of course when driver wants to win a drag race, or shift in a turn, or make the fastest laps of the day the computer can take over and offer full _paddle_actuated_ PDK mode.

Center console has interchangeable shift levers. You can choose anything from a spindle-y original VW beetle unit all the way up to a Hurst Shifter for a Ponnyak GTO. Six various shift levers choices are stored in a fine leather case on under back window.

Hopefully by that time we'll also be able to order the "Engine Music" option where you can choose digital exhaust system sounds simulating F1, Ford V8, CGT, Jet Turbine, and the old PSE, which are piped thru the car's sound system and coordinated with throttle inputs.

An aftermarket _exterior_ speaker system, with mega-bass will be possible but illegal in most states. Stock system will NOT generate exterior exhaust sound; can be defeated by Russian mafia if aftermarket exterior megaphones are required by the particular personality disorder of the driver.
