Chrysler's reborn flagship performance car is as raw as they come, with rear-wheel-drive a 640 hp V10 engine and six-speed manual transmission.

As if its oddball turbocharged five-cylinder engine wasn't enough, the all-wheel-drive Audi eschews the company's cutting-edge twin-clutch automatic transmission technology for a good, not so old fashioned six-speed manual.

Even the 202 mph Mustang Shelby GT500 can be ordered with an automatic transmission, but not so the Focus ST compact, which mates a six-speed manual to a 252 hp turbocharged engine driving the front wheels of this very hot hatchback. (Ford)

As the purest performance version of Chevy's muscle car the Camaro 1LE gets a six-speed manual literally geared for use on the track. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/07/13/test-drive-2012-chevrolet-camaro-zl1/">Test Drive: 2012 Camaro ZL1</a> (License Agreement - Please read the following important information pertaining to this image.
