Default thinking about swapping to M6

Im thinking about building my setup to a M6 when the Auto Tranny in mine decides to blow up. I know that the M6's are a little more slower on the track, but I think it will be a fun time on the street, I miss banging some gears. I have a Moser 9" on the way and going under the car soon, the Rear-End will hold a M6 easily.

What you guys think?

I would have nothing but a manual, but I'm not a drag racer. Manuals make driving a much more engaging experience, imo.

Yep..stock for stock the M6 will usually take the title. But of course a stalled auto out of the hole on a sticky track, is going to be hell to match with an M6 60' wise....Better be packing one hell of a clutch.
