and no, im not saying its too fast, but i just changed this car over from an automatic, and im really surprised at how robust the engine is over 3 grand

yeah, but it rewards you with shifting like a billion times and incredible acceleration

Fuck yeah, it's like adding 30hp. But I do a LOT of highway driving, so its just not worth it.

same here...alot of fun over 70...but gas does come into play. is there a 6 speed that would fit? that would be a killer option. once i get the 5sge built up and in there, and a turbo...im gonna be hating life at the pump. even gas down here in florida is up to 1.71 a gallon


kid: swap that thing. i can assure you if it is half as easy as what mine was....you are crazy for not. of course i had a donor car...but it would be easy getting the stuff from a junkyard too. you just have to hack off one connector and wire it up for your reverse lights and your clutch saftey switch and you are done. the cars are made the same for both, so you dont do much in that department. cutting the holes for the clutch is the only big deal at all.
