The is on the endangered species list. Every year fewer and fewer cars are offered with a clutch and a shifter. Americans just don't want to be bothered with the chore of working a clutch with their left foot and shifting with their right. And sports car manufacturers are the worst offenders when it comes to quitting on the stick shift. Because the newest computer-controlled automatics can shift more quickly than any human can, engineers see the manual transmission as outdated. Shifting a manual transmission is not only more engaging and fun than flicking some dainty little paddles, it also requires more skill and makes the driver a better one. Some carmakers still see the beauty of the manual transmission. Here are 20 of the greatest driver's machines that still do.

The second-generation Miata of 1999 got one more gear in 10th anniversary models—a six speed—that remained optional the five-speed was standard well into the third generation was equally great to use.

The new 7-speed manual transmission an 8-speed automatic is optional is one of the best hooked to any V8. The Z06 makes a rather astonishing 650 hp from its supercharged V8 and when shifted by an expert tester can hit 60 mph in just 3. This is one of the best-driving sports cars in the world—at any price. But for the first time, Porsche has expanded the manual 911 variants to include the high performance GT3. The GT3 packs a 4. Instead it uses a stronger six-speed unit borrowed from the hyper-limited 911 R model with a shorter gear lever. A year later that was fixed with the 500 Abarth—the high-performance model. Compared to the plain-vanilla 500, the Abarth delivers 60 more horsepower and 72 more lb. The high-powered Fiat is relatively tame when you want it to be, but flatfoot the throttle and it sounds like a squadron of light aircraft are chasing you down. It looks…a little too much like a decade-old tuner car. But try to get past the appearance because the Type R is a very smart and sophisticated performance machine. The GT350 is a more athletic, more racetrack-capable machine than the beastly old GT500 ever was. The supercharger and large displacement V8 are gone, replaced by a tech-heavy flat-plane 526 hp 5. Unlike Mustangs of the past—every design detail on the car is there to increase performance not just appearances.

Chevy says the ZR1 is the most powerful Vette ever and can reach 60 mph in less than 3 seconds and top out at 212 mph.
