Let me tell you it is a great car. I have driven quite a few including right hand drive Monaros. The exhaust tone is great especialy since its from the factory. It has good speed, great interior (you would never guess it was a GM product), rides good although it could benefit from some suspension upgrades. Yes it does have a six speed option. Expect to see new ground effects and a twin turbo setup to be out probaly early next year, aftermarket that is. Overall a great car.
