They dont have the issues because they are autos, there is substantially less shock on the drivetrain with the auto. Thats the reason modded fbodys with an auto and 10 bolt last way longer then a stock 6 speed and 10 bolt.

If ur gonna bring euros into it... Put any one of em in the same price range up against that sts-v.. From a lower roll I'll bet that stsv gives em all hell.. That car is way too heavy to start from 80.. Specially with no mods

Put a 06 m5 up against that sts-v stock for stock and I'll bet it's an interesting race. I'm no bench racer but my opinion is that it'll be real close
