What's up, kyo? Nice car! Welcome to the club!
I don't have the auto-sport (or whatever it's called), but I'd recommend going for the stick. The P5 isn't exactly a muscle car, so it's nice to be able to control the revs. Instantly. The auto-sport is basicly an automatic with a shifter. You can't control when to drop the clutch.
Referring to your comment about modifications:
My first upgrade when I got my P5 was to DITCH THE CRAPPY SPEAKERS! and get an amp. If I'm gonna sit in traffuck, I ain't gonna hear the next guys music!, ya know?

hello Kyle and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have.
make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.
oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.
Welcome!!
good to see another houstonite around!

Hey dude, welcome. Just be sure to use the "Search" button before you ask any newbie questions. Some people (not me) who claim to know most everything about everything, will flame the hell out of you for asking the same questions they used to have...but then again they're so good they probably never had questions.....but anyhow welcome and enjoy!
