My sedan seems slow!
I've done a 14.32@97.7mph with a Z-tube in my 03 5AT sedan. The conditions were ~180' DA (track is at 1,000'). The fastest I've seen for a stock 5AT sedan is a 14.2@97mph on a sea level FL track in the winter. The fastest 6MT I know of was a 13.8@101mph up in Canada in the fall. I'm convinced the air in Canada is 15% nitrous. Everything up there runs insane times 
Could you get an early 6MT car without any options??
6MT, but cloth seats, no sunroof, basic options??
I know some of those exist in early '03, but every one i've seen has been a 5AT base model. Something tells me the 6MT brings other options along with it. That's unfortunately as it would be nice to have a lighter weight car. WOuld be even nicer if the Rev-ups could ever come packaged in a bare-bones chassis. I know they dont, but would be nice to have a no-frills car with basically an engine and a stick. Of course, if you are going to go that far, you might as well pick up a specialized project car then.

I'd prob do something crazy like buy a Miata....and swap a VQ37HR and 6-spd into it ....or an LS6
...eh I already got my project car. I don't need another

So doing some reading if I were to by an exhaust mod which would yield the most difference:
A. Megan Racing Y-pipe (with reducer cone)
B. Coupe mid pipe (seems to be hard to find unless I'm looking in the wrong place)
C. Chop off stock muffler replace with a thruster muffler as read in a previous thread. (less back pressure in the final restriction point of the exhaust)

You need to manually shift the 2-3 and hold 3rd the entire run. Letting the tranny do it's own thing will slow you down by .2 to .3 seconds and about 2mph. In the RWD 5AT G, 3rd is good to 101mph. Believe me, I've run as fast as 99.9mph in the 1/4 and I tapped the 3rd gear limiter right at the finish.

What gear do the AWD's come with?? Ive seen some say the 3.5 and others the 3.3. Which is it??
When i ran my X, i manually shifted it myself, and crossed the traps in 3rd gear. Granted, i only trapped at 93MPH. (damn heavy pig car
