occasional track use? I'd suggest an m6....a lot better than a stalled auto(for gas mileage)

+1 on all things said above. I LOVE my M6. But be careful. Once you drive a manual, you'll slam the floor with your left foot in an auto car looking for that third pedal

I agree, I love my M6…….I don’t drive my WS6 all year and my winter beater is a 97’ Blazer with a auto, every time I get in the thing after driving the WS6 for awhile I’m always hunting for that clutch.

I drive mine every day to school and then to work. At least you won't get bored in traffic with a M6.

Yes and its def. a pain in the ***. Wouldnt bother me so much if the damn shifter didnt take 40lbs of pressure to put into/change gears.

If you're still looking, see if the clutch is stock. Im using a centerforce clutch right now, and its nice, but i can see where it gets annoying. Then again, its my DD so im used to it.

I love driving mine everyday. Heck even in traffic it isn't that bad. My clutch engauges really smooth & the shifter does also. I wouldn't have it any other way.

if it is a 'dd' with ocasional track use, you def want M6, so much more fun on the street when you wanna race a little, plus the better mileage

same here. Bought my M6 car with 35,000 miles on it. Drove it to southern California (san diego/Camp Pendleton) Lived there for three years. Drove the car back to Oklahoma. She's finally retired from daily driving and sittin pretty with 78,XXX on the clock. 90% of it's miles were in freeway stop and go. Had a blast.

Been driving to school and work everyday for over a year now in my M6, love it, wouldn't trade it for anything. I only made about 50 passes at the track total last year, I'll probably do even less this year. Car gets awesome mpg on the highway.
