I would go with #9
reason - you will not have more fun on the street then having a stick. and 351 HCI turbo should be puting out some damn good numbers, so look into a built version of the tko trans.

just my 0.02 but id go with the c4 if ur gonna run a turbo, yes a 5 or 6 speed will be fun on the street but nothin beats a perfectly shifted turbo on or off the street and 4 a d/d you get too busy shiftin

yes auto would be first choice the car is setup for auto now.

i dont think the c4 will be freeway friendly

CALL LENTECH AOD THAT WILL HOLD MORE POWER THAN YOU WILL MAKE IN THE FIRST THREE GEARS ONLY HOLDS 600 FT/LBS OF TORQUE IN OD EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY TRANS BRAKE THEY HAVE IT ALL TOO MUCH TURBO LAG WITH A MANUAL

if you want freeway frienly get a lectech same thing as c4 but you get two extra gears. plus you will never miss a gear more consisten then a stick

if you want fun all way down low and free way as a daily driver. gonna haveta have a couple extra gears, and i only see one over drive on your list that aint a stick.power glide is really race only.the other 3 speed trans are just a step below the power glide but still dont quite offer the full package of everday driving fun on free way and fun from stop light to stop light . prob a built aod unless you want a stick.

If this is gonna be a DD then put a manual in it. T56 would be the first choice followed by a TKO.

t56 - hands down - probably want it to be viper spec
