Well Brucer, Ive got good news (for me) and bad news. Good news is that I just got a PM from Notsure on the other forum. He says that, according to Bob Fredricks, his car, along with mine and Arixzona were the first MT SRTs to roll off the assembly line. And mine was most likely the very first!!! Unfortunately if this is true it means that the car on its way to you will, in fact, be an autostick.

NotSure also says that Bob thinks his car got carbon fiber stripes by accident. Meaning that he may have a collectors item on his hands as well! Kind of like a miss-stamped coin released from the mint. Now, I am not worried about re-sale value or collectibility, but it is a nice thing to know. Bob will be in contact with him when he gets more info.
