HI! all i have to agree, that this is the most fantastic car i have ever owned. i have had them all, my favorite of course was the porsche, until i bought this outstanding piece of sheet metal. as for the trans, the autostick all the way!!! once you learn to use that gearbox the way it was intended, you will get more useable power and fun from your car. and, YES srt-6 is the next project on my list!!!
