I can't think of any street car that has 7 gears. Some cars like the S2000, RSX Type S, Camero SS, and MKIV Supra's come with 6 gears (foward) and 1 gear for reverse. They may be counting the reverse gear as well. But no car (that I can think of) has 7 foward gears.
-Ducky [Edit: Several European countries have or developing 7-speed trannies. I believe that the Ferrari Enzo comes with a 7 speed as well as a Bugatti. Mercedes released information about a 7-speed automatic and there are rumors about a 7-speed SMG gearbox being in the BMW M5 and M6.]

I think semi's have 21, if I remember right. My stepdad is a truck driver, I think that's how many he said they had. And aside from all that Ducky said, the Eclipse in F&F had 7 gears.  |

No, they only come with 5sp transmissions and a 4sp auto. He was being sarcastic because in the movie they up shifted what seemed like 20 times.

The Oracle Viper in GT3 has 7 gears, but the road going Viper RT/10, GTS, GTSR. ACR, etc... all had 6 gears.
