welcome to HAN. I'm glad u opted for a 6spd!!! I hope u will spend more time in the accord than the transam. The last pic of the s2000 button is one of the big reasons why I hate domestics. Look at the styling of those a/c control knobs. It took Pontiac engineers a whole 5sec to design that one LOL. It seems like domestics don't give a shit about detail. But enough of bashing!! I'm sure its 400hp would eat up every car on this board even if it is an automatic.

Thanks for the warm welcome and compliments from everyone!

When I said 220 HP, I was referring to the Mazda6...from what I read on the other board, it sounds like Mazda overrated it like theyve been known to do in the past. Peopole were putting down 160-170 FWHP...which comes out to be like a 25% drivetrain loss, which just sounds high to me.

Anyway, yeah, the T/A is an automatic. When I bought it, I didnt know how to drive stick, and I ended up getting it for such a good price I couldnt pass it up. I have a 3000 stall torque convertor in it, so the disadvantage of having an automatic opposed to a stick is almost nill..

Thanks again to everyone and I look forward to meeting a lot of you and learning more about these great cars!
