Not worth it? You've grown up with autos, manuals make a world of difference. IMHO if you don't have a manual you dont have a sport car! Now muscle car? That'* a different story...
But for racing, curvy roads my bonnie makes my left foot jealous. I can't imagine what it would be like with 5 or 6 gears... And having a clutch to rev at people!

Don't have a car yet, but since we have an extra car (we have 5 drivers at my house including me, and 5 cars) I will have a car to drive when I need one. Anyways, I just thought I would post.

Here are the results from the track yesterday. (We didn't bring the SSEi)
The GTP ran a best of 12.59X @ 108.XX, and the Turbo GP ran a best of 15.042 @ 91.90. The nice part about driving the turbo is it was VERY consistant. I would nail the gas to spin the tires a little to clean them off before launching, and once I did that they wouldn't spin at all, or they would just chirp when I launched. Because of this I got to the 3rd round of bracket racing. I dialed in a 15.22 (because that is what it was consistantly running) and ran between 15.26 & 15.42 all 3 rounds...its just that on the 3rd round I redlighted with a .483 light. The car definately has gobs more power with the chip. I was hoping for a 14.99 out of it, but a 15.042 is pretty good. Good enough for me anyways. I do feel kind of embarrased driving around town with 15.22 on the window...but 15.22 is a pretty respectable time...its just when your dad is driving around town with 12.59 on the window it makes you feel slow.
