Brucer...WOW!! i can't imagine how this happened! That is terrible. Is the VIN representative of a standard? If not, the dealer had to have ordered it wrong.

Probably like you, i purposely did not buy a 2008 because i was set on getting the tremec 6 spd. I like having control over the car, and besides, when most people see a standard, they are less likely to ask to drive it!

I'm not sure what i would do if i was in your situation.
