it makes no different if you have a roll cage....-1 on that

I vote go for the 5 spd for its extra strength and less shifting. When you upgrade the power, you really dont need the extra gears. The 5spd is a pretty close ratio trans anyways, i cant imagine gaining much in the way of performance even on the track froma 6 spd. I just dont think the extra weight and less reliability is worth it.
Since you are going to do mods/upgrades, dont waste your money on the MR, save it for coilovers etc.
If you are going to upgrade the cams and turbo right away, probably best to save some doh and go with the VIII, rip out the back seats and put some Bride seats up front! The 8's seats really suck compared to the 9's.
