Default driving the diablo

i would like to know what is the best car to learn to drive a manual transmission closest to the 1997+ year diablo roadster? i understand you have to be as fit as Jean-Claude Van Damme to shift the thing. also is the clutch "soft?" and if you all dont mind can yall tell me approximately what are the agerave shifting speed or engine rev limit between shifts. all i know is that it is possible to do 0 - 60 in 1st gear, but wouldn't that redline the crap out of the engine and possible be extremely fun?

also my absolute dream car pic is uploaded. same color except i would put a top notch exhaust system on it.

The 97 roadster is the easiest car I've ever driven, shifting is silky smooth, the clutch is perfect not too heavy or light. Yes 60 MPH will redline the engine. I usually shift between 4-5K RPM but that is a personal preference.
