The other option is to do what the race car originally had which was an FD 5 speed. I like how those shift, but they are getting very hard to find and relatively expensive. An RX8 6-speed is also an option, however it would require a lot of custom work to make the shifter fit in the stock location. The idea with this car is to be a more streetable version of the race car

Fair enough. I just wish it shifted a little better.
