If you're building a 6 speed track-only car you're on crack.

Built auto...no missed shifts....ever.

If your making it to drag, definitely an automatic. For the street I would say 5 spd for the fun factor. And I know its been argued, but with the 05 the five speed automatic is so good that Motor trend only could get 1/10 difference in the quarter mile, so what used to be is in the process of change on the street as well.
