The manual is fun to drive (except in traffic), but the faster your car gets at the track, the more you will appreciate the auto.

Cam/Stall, thats the route I'm going. I think a 6 speed would be alot of fun sometimes, but my car is my DD and an auto is just nice to have. Stalled autos are great at he track too. I think you will save alot of money going the auto way.

Cam and stall.

1. Faster than a M6
2. Cheaper (potentially)
3. Easier

Cam and stall - cheaper, better for drag racing

why spend ALL that money to have the same car, except you would just have to shift yourself? when you can make your call a 400 rwhp beast that launches like crazy

"Change my car over to a 6-spd and a cam in it"

Because auto's are boring.

auto and cam, handle more power for the money. i'm doing the same thing before i put the turbo on the 351. stalled auto is much cheaper than building a 5 speed that can handle the power, and more consistent as well. i'm going to have to take out my manual and put in an auto though, hopefully i don't run into too many problems.

go auto, it will not be boring, i promise.

Def go Stall and cam. I love having a M6 but theres no reason to swap to one if your an auto. A stalled auto can be plenty of fun too.

Other than the work required...the M6 is way more fun for a street car.....and since when is a T56 shatter prone? Seems to me you better build the stock auto if you want it to live....

I'm a stick guy.... drive what you wnt though....


but if you are asking th question..maybe you should be driving an auto anyways

manuals can be just as fast when properly driven. my car all motor is as quick as my friends cammed and stalled auto. its a small cam, but still.

M6 = tons of fun
A4 = i'm lazy

i'll switch to an auto, if i loose both my legs in iraq.
