Also, if you are torn between 6MT or 7AT... the 6MT is comparable to the TR3650 I had in my GT. Very notchy. It's much slower shifting, however. You could power shift the crap out of the Tremec but you need to be a lot easier with this one. That's not to say it's not a beefy transmission, it just doesn't like super quick shifts.

If you go with the auto, you are buying probably the best automatic in the business short of Porsche's PDK. The 7AT shifts quick and hard and is consistently faster than the 6MT in a straight line.

I know the auto being faster than the manual was a difficult concept for me to grasp coming from the Mustang world!
