As you may have guessed by now, I am trying to decide which manual transmission is the best choice. Here is another one to add to the mix. I received this from Keisler today.


Dear Fellow Enthusiasts,

We just got back from SEMA in Las Vegas where we debuted some great new products and met a number of you that are professional shops looking to grow your business with Keisler.

Please take a few minutes to check out these exciting new products that continue the trend of Innovation and growth that started the company 17 years ago:

How about C3 Corvettes? Nothing listed. I would be very interested at that price.
 
Where were they 16 years ago, not like O/Drive was unheard of then....

I would have bought one then and stayed stick shift for my car....even 12 years ago....

oh well.....better late than never....

I think I would have done a 2.7 first gear instead of 3.xx but that's just me....
