6 speed, not auto.
Is it because you don't like rotarys?

They're "interesting." Very smooth, rev them to 9k without feeling like it's a strain on the engine. Unfortunately, you have to rev them to 9k just to get any acceleration out of them, no torque. Even then they're not very fast. I'd wait for the supercharged version if you have to buy one, or go for one of the better peformance cars in the price range, like the Evo, Sti, old stock 04 Cobra, etc.

agreed. while i do like the look of them minus the stock altezzas, the engine is just NOT enough for the car.
