wouldnt bother to swap the transmission at all.. and most of the manual lovers are actually started driving cars with automatics who think they ll be cool if they say, they prefer manuals.. fun or a bitter fact..

Of my core group of car crazed friends, not one has switched from the same choice they'd made a decade ago. Three of us have been saving for a 550/575, R8 or Vantage. Having another choice is not unwelcome. Although I do suspect the price for this particular swap is likely way out of reach for any of us plebeians.

Good thing you think you know what everyone drives. Unfortunately for you, you're full of shit.

Lol, EAG is not a random shop. Look them up. Highly reputable.
