There's no other way to get the full potential stock (GT automatic, GT manual, or GTS automatic) unless U sink tons of money in your ride. Always get from the dealership the best possible accommodations or used, certified w/warranty. I know people here might not be able to afford it or might argue about turboing is easier for a GT, but that's just fact. Number one!!! If you can't drive stick you will learn, it's not that hard. Don't get a GTS or GT in automatic people. You have a compact sports car, A SPORTS CAR, sure not a Porsche or Ferrari but come on, those people are missing out on all the excitement, acceleration, and control all we manual owners have.

No need to rub it in! Actually before i got the celi I wasn't really into modding and racing so I got auto because it's easier. It was a few months after I got the celi that I got into it and I am kicking myself in the ass now wishing I knew more about it then and got stick... though reading about these misshifts and syncro problems and stuff sure makes me glad I have an auto sometimes!
