I was thinking, for being such a high powered car... Could you put a 6 speed transmission in this car?

Do you think there's a need for a 6 speed, or just keep it to a 5 speed?

5 dpeed is not that bad, although 6 speed would make it more responsive especially at higher speeds.

I think it would be a very costly procedure.

t56 could be had for bout 1500, dunnno if there are any that would fit.

I drove a WRX STI with a 6 speed last weekend and found the gear ratios too close together for my preference. I found going around the track that I had to shift much more often and in places not as conducive to making a shift. IMO the power band is wide enough in the stang to not need the additional gear.
