SS for me.
I'm already accustomed to my left foot falling asleep from boredom while driving my 4EAT.
It'd be nice to have a car that's fun on pavement instead of just less-grippy surfaces.
What would you rather have?

I had more fun with my stick-shift GL (73 HP) than some fast cars I've driven that were auto. For me speed doesn't always = fun.
Isotopeman, check what Matt Monson has done with a spare 2.5 block and some 2.2 heads, but for this discussion, I'd build lighter internals, higher compression, get some later bigger valve heads with roller rockers, more aggressive cams, and have some head work done. I'm not sure if I'd quite get to 200 HP, but I bet I could get close.

Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
