Pretty much Cal, as long as you have a 3.90 rear diff. If not, I have one that I may sell soon for $600 (Includes hubs, disks, calipers, axles, and the assembled pumpkin.
You GC8 guys must also convert your clutch from a pull to a push...(I think)...
No biggie!
? you said GC8 guys just wanted to know what there are driving.

I dunno if the conversation of how many shifts it takes to get to 60 is still going on.. (and i dont quite remember but heres at it) to my memory i beleive to get to 60 in second gear is either redlining (7k rpms) or close to it. IMO for any type of speed quality (racing etc..) i like to shift in the power band before it drops dramatically (around 6-6.5k rpms) so that I keep that constant boost going. No-one can say when they take their car to redline or beyond they don't feel the power fall off, ya know? So i wouldnt dismiss the 6MT over that small implication.

Oh yeah, one more thing: I nominate this as ridiculous post of the year:
Yeeesh.. Now I know why Subaru didn't put it in the 02's.. I should be able to trade my 5MT to a 6MT owner at a profit!

Good point, but the advantage of staying in peak boost range is far outweighed by the cost of a required extra shift. But who cares about 0-60 times anyway? I wouldn't have bought a Subaru if that was my goal. The 6mt allows you to make 400+ hp. daily without worrying about breaking your fragile tranny, as well as stay in better boost range while sliding through your favorite corner. Ahhh, it's a beautiful thing

Would a Nissan LSD rear diff connect to the Suburu? I know that 1987 to 1989 Nissan 300zx's use a R200 rear diff with a 3.9 gear ratio.
