RE: 6speed or built automatic
if it is more of a street car than a track car...I would go with te 6 speed. It will be more comfortable on the road and more comfortable if you decided to take a long trip with it. You can run a higher gear with the 6 speed due to the gear ratio of the trans and still maintain proper/comfortable rpms on the street.
p.s. MPG will be better in the 6 speed than auto...
