Ok should I trade my 06 eth. AT in for an 05 eth. 6mt now orrrr wait a year and get another used 06 6mt?

 

05... lighter, cheaper

 

i would do it

 

But then wut about the extra 13 hp you get on the 06?

 

Don't forget about the TQ loss and weight gain as well.

 

Definitely. I’m behind you 100 percent.

 

Don't second guess yourself. Your gut instinct is always right. Can't you tell by how happy you are with your previous choices?

 

May i ask why u didn't by a manual in the first place??? and if u do trade in may i trade u headlights with my 05?

 

I'd go with the 05 the hp may offset the weight but there's nothing to stop the negative effects the weight may have on the handling.

 

Because I am an impatient 19 yr old and because of that I make stupid mistakes...I should of signed up at this forum before I got the car but o wellzz hahha

 

Do you plan on doing many track days, autocrossing, drifting, road racing? That is the only time you are ever going to need a 6MT. The AT is fine for straight lines. It is also fine for driving in traffic. It will hold anything that garbage Stillen SC can throw at it. You can always do a valve body upgrade and change out the gears if you ever get to that point. Are you looking forward to the burning up of clutches and inconsistent shifting that you will be giving the 6MT?

 

Wait.

 

so you signed up for this forum and now you realize you should have gotten a 6mt... i don't want to say peer presure but...

Though I wish I signed up for this forum before I got my Z... There was an awesome Z for sale about a week after I bought mine here on the forum that had rims, stereo, and low miles for a pretty good price... I swear I am going to get my next car on a forum.

 

You do realize that 13 HP is less than a 5% increase over the 287 right... not to mention the 5% LOSS of TQ the 300hp engine has over the 287.

 

Ok I just got back from the dealer..in order to get the same payments as i am paying now just for a BASE I gotta put 5k more down and my payment months increased meaning the past 6 months the payment I made went in the trash...I think Ill just wait for a while hahahha

 

Yeah just wait for the 06 6MT. You will be much happier with a 6MT. Revup's respond better to mods anyway so that should end the debate about which engine is better (287 vs. revup).
