YES switch to an M6 if its your cruiser/weekend warrior..

exactly..someone on here had this saying:
autos win races, and 6 speeds impress high school kids.. needless to say, i just graduated a few years ago

Agreed. I got the circle-d 5C which is a 4400 stall and the car is 10 times more fun now. And that was upgrading from a TCI 3500!

I can kick the car sideways on the street if I'm under 25 mph. Plus this thing has a 5500 rpm shift extension and a 2.7 *** kicking STR. It's a friggin animal from a stop or a roll.

You guys can keep your M6's. My car is extremly fun on the street. It's even more fun at the track when I can rip out 1.6 60's on my stock 10 bolt all season long.
