First of all thats a GN not an import.If i remember correctly it had the 700r4 tranny in it which had mondo aftermarket support like torque converters and shift kits to beef it up.Our auto trannys dont have much aftermarket support.I am just now seeing torque converters pop up.Also there is not as much drivetrain loss in a manual as an auto but as always if you have enough money you can make anything fast.
