If any car dealer or anyone selling you a car says that a stick shift car has cruise control, just turn around and walk away.

again, if stick does have cruise control (i dont see how) correct me of me useless knowledge.
My '96 GST 5-speed had cruise control.

^hehehehe Cruise is a rather simple design and most use TPS.
Shouldnt matter auto vs stick. I think people have named enough manual cars with cruise...IS300 included.

Evos lack cruise control, fold down rear seats, and a couple other things...but so did the F40

p.s. This is for the flamers... No, I am not saying that the Evo is in the same category as the F40, but they are both purpose built machines.

You want to debate higher CG, I guess. But flex? Short of a circuit stye car in the hands of a professional driver, its not going to matter.

you are funny
you drive a car with 'vortex generators' and zero lift kits and brembo brakes. None of these things matter in a street driven car. why question my lack of desire for a sun roof???

Pretty much all you need to know about adding CC for evo.

Actually, my car does not have vortex generators or a zero lift kit, both of which I agree are largely useless. Thanks for that. Brembo brakes (or good brakes in general) sure do help on a street driven car, but Im not going to argue.

I purely was questioning how much flex the sun roof creates. You would be surprised with the actual result. Again, a better debate would be how the sun roof raises the CG which affects handling...
