Manual for the 55.... I'll pass. That engine races to redline so quickly, you'd need to reduce it from 7 speeds to 5. Plus, just imagine how tough that clutch pedal has to be and how often you'd have to replace the clutch itself. On the Enzo, you'd have to replace the clutch after just 2 hard core accellerations. I don't even think a clutch on the Acura NSX lasts more than 2k miles. The SLK55 would always be in the shop!
