You find yourself a Mustang V8's transmission, the T56 6 speed manual and put those 2 together with the proper wiring harness and chip. Hell, when all said and done, it's gonna weigh as much as a Supra anyways, but with V8 power. So while you're at it, convert the rear drums to disc's, courtesy of that said Mark VIII. And when you're tired of shitting on these little 4 bangers on the highway, Turbo it at 7 psi, you'll be making more power than any other said car due to the amount of power you'll have from the start. You don't need to get a supercharged car just to have a 5 speed. It's all about going custom. Check out these links.

if I wanted to do that I would just do it to my current car, but to get it manual would be a pain b/c the tranny is longer than stock so it would need some modifaction(read that on tccoa), and then I would SC b/c rangerlee has done it on like 3 of his V6's or I would do a swap to a 4.2L from a F-150 . Trust me I have been doing research on MN12 for like the past 8 months I rather just get out of that scene. Its just seems like it would be too much time money and effort to get it where I would like it to be . I dont mind putting my time and effort in it but like I said my pockets are very shallow. But thanks any way.

EDIT: and a V8 is out of the question. Like I said before it would jack up my insurance, which I really dont want that to happen and plus gas would me more too.
