I'd hit it for sure but I wouldn't pay 25-30k for it, thats just me though. (unless I was a collecor) Specialy for DD usage. You asked about kidos. Well I have a 14 month old, the car seat and her fit fine in the back BUT there is not enough rook for someone to sit in the passanger seat, the seat does not have enough room to lay back. Maybe when she gets a little bigger there will be enough room for the front seat to come back cause I will be able to face the car seat fwd, luckily I havent had to worry about that cause we have a suv for usual kid hauling. But if that was going to be your main DD and you have an infant I'd say no way man, that car is to clean for that. Just my .02

If you are racing to win automatic is the way to go. Any real racer knows that. It takes the driver error out of the equation.
Now there is no doubt that for horsing around there is nothing like a stick car.
It makes the puniest of engines a blast to drive.

F1 says you're wrong. Road Racers also say you're wrong

Omni you are correct. I am guilty of tunnel vision. I drag race. For f1 and road racing stick is the way to go.

Although F1 doesn't use a typical shifter. They have steering wheel mounted, push button gear selectors. Look inside a F1 cockpit, there's no room for a shifter!

Stop with that S#@T talk. Proves you dont know much about racing. I sold my auto cause I heard stick was sooo much cooler. Then I found out you need to swap the puny rear out of an M6 (a new one is $3K installed) and that 1/4 times will be better and more consistent with autos. If your looking for a street cruiser/auto X then go M6. Not gay just depends what you want.

Like the others have said, it would be a shame to mod that thing / put high mileage on it. Def one of the cleanest anni's ive seen.
