Well, the new Corvette C7 has a 7-speed manual… and Hyundai has a six-speed in the Genesis Coupe, as does VW in the Golf R, Subaru in the WRX/STI, and Audi in all S models availbale with a manual gearbox. Hence, it’s not just Americans that offer up six-speed sticks in their performance offerings.
I don’t see this as a problem at all… heck, how often does one shift above fifth on a track anyway?
