Thinking of getting an sst evo
after it's in sport mode, press and hold the button again for 5 seconds while not moving.
The SST will shift progressively more aggressively as you toggle through Normal, Sport and S-Sport.
Like any non-CVT transmission there will always be some shift shock. And it does tend to get more noticeable as you ramp up the awesome.
One of the major things to be aware of with the SST is the threshold at which the transmission will over heat if you start modding. This happens much faster in the SST than it does in the 5-speed. There are transmission coolers and clutch packs available, but they're a little on the spendy side.
And yes, you can change the head unit.

Also I have a note to fellow SST owners. One of the biggest ways people ruin their clutchpack is overusing Normal mode. Jacks Transmissions metions to SST owners they do business with and will tell you the same thing; avoid using Normal mode for anything other than cruise control. When you use Normal, the car slips the clutch a bit to keep things smooth for non-enthusiasts and baby mommas. This sliping, as with any clutch, will eventually ruin it. All it takes is literally the flip of a switch to greatly improve the life of your clutch. It doesn't matter if you use auto or manual, but stick with at least Sport mode for shifting either way.

First of all, i have to say that i really LOL'd at "ramp up the awesome" and i'm going to steal the phrase.
