the only reason I wouldn't go right for the MT is because I don't have the money or facilities at the moment to do the swap. I may in the future, though, and modding the VB to withstand more power and quicker shifts is more affordable, atm. why the 6spd, though? I read it can handle more power, but I heard that the gear spacing is kind of wonky and you get slightly better mpg in the 5MT on the highway.
