Here's a quote from the first link: Quote:
I still don't know why you want a manual tranny if you're going to be racing from a dead stop...auto is faster. Also, some "suspension/handling" mods will make your car slower when racing from a dead stop. All the racing in f&f 1&2 was from a dead stop, right? If you're serious about roadracing (i.e. the art of high speed turns), then plan to take some driving lessons at a local roadrace track. A good roadracer in a crappy/slow car will consistently & totally embarrass an amateur in a "fast" car when roadracing.

Either way, ime, it'll cost you about $7K for that one change alone...and (like I already posted) you still won't have the transmission, differential, or braking that you'd get if you started with an mkiv tt in the first place.
