Default GTO help..

I wanted to pick up a Brazen Orange GTO M6, love the color and hate an auto.. there is only one out there left brand new to my knowledge and its ridiculously over priced because the STEALERship put a magnacharger on it and beefed up the rear.. accordingly they jacked the price 20k.. I can find m6's in other colors and i can find orange in autos.. should I get an m6 and get the car painted at some point, get an auto in the color i want and have it swapped or just can the whole thing? HELP!
Edit: Buying used isn't an option for this one...

Well keep lookin for an M6. But an auto can be fun too. I wouldnt reccomend repainting or swapping transmissions. If your dead set against auto dont get one.

An auto with IRS is a good combo IMO.
