Default Upgraded from Imports

Hey Guys I recently bought a 98 WS6, silver. Its an automatic car and I was wandering if the 6-speeds really out perform the auto of if it is just more fun to drive? Any common problems to be watching for? The car seems to be very strong but has some annoying problems like dead windows and no A/C. bad combo huh? I would love any advice!!

Stock for stock the 6 speeds are a little quicker if the driver can drive worth a damn.
As for the window motor go to autozone and for around $50 you get a rebuilt one with lifetime warranty (if I remember right).

yup 6 speeds are a little faster, but get a tuner to turn off torque management, and put a stall converter in there, and you'll smoke the 6 speed guys with the same power.

Stalled auto is the way to go and i no advance has them for about 50 bucks (window motors). Good luck with your new ride.

Why couldn't they have just used a damn cable clutch like the Cobra T56...simple, cheap, easy, reliable
