Yeah, a while ago I posted a thread about a manual GS and how many would want one. It would be great to have a MT GS 300/400/430

i agree, with the MT and much less power train loss, the v8 in the gs is going to be a beast

I tlaked to a guy from SP awhile back in reference to buying that car, as much HP and work as it has done, there are some downsides as well. It has lost alot of the everyday comfort features. Still bad *** car though, and they wanted much more for it then.

As far as comfort level....AC is no biggie. What matters more is driveability. For example... With a race clutch, and the amount of power the car has, it'll take a lot of getting use to 1st gear. I 'm sure that you're able to spin the tires through the first 4 gears.

Very nice car though.

I know the sales manager there and here is some more info I got:

- 854 rwhp
- OEM AC and Navi works
- gauge cluster changed to STACK (?) , same as indy F-1
- twin hks ball bearing 3037s
- It's missing the center console. Probably cost a few hundred to get done @ upholstery shop.

Don't want to turn this into a sales thread, but if anyone is seriously interested...PM me, I think I can get it for a lot less than the posted price.
