awesome cars, but it appeared a driver mod was needed. those both are paddle shifted "auto manuals" right? Why does it take so long to change gears?? Thats gotta kill the 1/4 mile times.

I believe the CCR is ONLY available as a manual and the paddles optional for the LP640.

I love the CCR.
2600lbs and gobs of power.

I got to sit in one and it had a stick, but the gate was weird looking.
It almost looked like it was an I pattern like a sequential (up and down only) but it had three floor mounted pedals.
It was just a stick sticking out of a metal domed disk.

On a side note, those cars look and feel REALLY small in person.

If we're talking about fantasy cars, I always wanted an F-50 myself...

I honestly think I would choose a CCR over an F50.
Just as exotic looking, more comfortable, quicker, real tuning potential.

The CCR is just more brutal and bad *** IMO.

the ccr is a manual but they have a dsg type box coming in the future.

if i recall the ccr is a deep 10 sec car stock... even something as nuts as a high 9. ( not so sure on the high 9 since i havent looked it up in a while)

the dome moves as you change gears, and i spent time in one at the factory in sweden and even though the car was setup for someone smaller then me i felt comfy in it.

Koenigsegg's are the baddest cars made IMO. They are nice to look at and they are fast. Pagani's are also very cool. Ferrari's and Lambo's are almost like a mass produced car compared to those.
