Be that as it may, I don't like automatics. If I found a pretty rough Turbo Regal and did a nice build with a T56 swap, I doubt people would be slapping me in the face.

Some have tried it, but most say that the thrust bearings arent going to hold up to a manual transmission. The series II 3.8 engines in the f-bodies are set up alittle different and seem to handle a manual just fine.

Super clean ride, my only change would be to remove the window decals, other than that killer!

yeah, but they were way slower than the auto's so it never caught on...

you prolly wouldn't get slapped, putting a six speed in a TR is more frowned upon than anything...just like masturbating in an airplane
