Steve,

I know we're an entire country away over here in Charlotte, but we have a couple of both 5 speeds and automatics.

Here's my thought to your question: what do you want the car for? If it's a replacement of a daily driver that you would have considered a BMW, MB, Audi, or any other "commuter" car, then get the automatic. But, if you like to drive, and want the strong feel of torque, get the 5 speed.

Personally, I'm a 911 and 914 guy. My partner Stan is the 928 fanatic in our company. He's had 5 I think, and now has the ultimate: 5 speed GTS.

The profiles of most of the automatic buyers we sell to is either someone that will use is all the time in traffic and doesn't want to bother shifting, someone who can't drive a stick, or a guy that wants a sports car, but his wife can't drive a stick and this is the compromise. Kinda like a tiptronic.

Just so you know, we've shipped a ton of cars to the West coast, and have a lot of very happy customers.

If you're interested, check out our inventory and give me a call. the 89 that listed as "coming soon" should be up later this week.
