If I purchased a Crossfire it would be with the 6 speed. Hopefully someone will make a reasonable turbo kit. Saw that one TT kit in the making. I know any opinions would be biased, but I'd like to hear them nevertheless.

Almost became a recruiter but at the last second I dropped the idea. I know your job is tough, and thank you for doing it. You are a true American.
As for the 6 speed, I don't know. There are several people on the forum that swear by'em, but I drove one before i purchased my auto and did not care for the shifting range. It seems to me it has a long ways to travel before it reaches the next gear, and the shifter feels like it's setting in a bucket full of rocks, but thats just IMO. I'm sure I could've installed a shifter kit and all would had been OK, but doing so means your screwing around with a $35,000 dollar car right off the bat, and I did not care for that idea.
