I have nothing against autos or hookers, I have had a couple and they were great.

(well more than a "couple" of the later! Thought I was super man once in Thialand and rented 7 at once, that was a damn long night! I am still grinning!)

I just want to keep this car a stick.

If it was going to see regular track duty, it would likely be changed to a auto set up. I think they are more consistent and eaiser on parts. Plus no boost drop on shifts!
