This depends on what youre wanting to do with the car. Both trannys have their stong points and weak points. If you do more driving and racing on the street and only make the occasional trip to the track and you like to shift your own gears then stick with the T56. Automatics are awesome for hole-shotting, and perform great at the track, and most of all are consistent. Im not say its not possible to be consistent with a manual, its just easier with the automatic. If you like bracket racing a computer controlled automatic car is the way to go, you might be able to win some money. Went to the track a few months ago for a feature night and a guy in a 2005 Grand Prix GTP won 2 classes in the bracket racing. Just food for thought.....

The decision lies in you hands, it come down to personal preference and application.
