People have told me I will get the hang of a manual.

But my real question which was mostly answered by the first reply was if the stock manual could handle the power from a supercharged ti.
I don't know whether the numbers he gave about torque are atw or at the transmission(i assume at tranny) But I do not know the amount of torque a supercharged makes at the trans, just the rwhp and trq(and only from posted dynos which seem to be below 200).

I dont want to buy the car, the supercharger, and other things to improve performance, only for me to ruin the trans under the power and have to buy a new one.

His post seems to show the auto has a higher threshold for power.

I know to some it would be an easy choice, but mine is a decision of money, I almost have enough for a supercharger(takes me along time to gather money) So I want to make a decision that will be economicly sound.(is that the right word for money efficient?)

Thanks again.
