I'm hoping to get the turbo build done this year. But I am also planning a wedding, and my tax return was CRAP this year because of unemployment last year, I owed the government a good amount of my mod money 
I also need a good set of tires for the Camaro.
I figure with all my mods, slapping the turbo on should net me 350 crank hp? We'll see when I'm done.

Shifting and battling torque-steer all at the same time would be awful. So the only way I'd do it is if I was going all out on the car for drag racing/racing/drifting, and if I did that I'd convert it to RWD too. But there is one option I'd love to have, a manumatic tap-shift. Especially if it had the the lamborghini shifting where it prepares the next gear. So like if your in 2nd, it's got 3rd ready, so it'll just drop into that gear, and so on and so forth. And, with a manumatic, you'd have the best of both worlds, it's easy to shift in traffic and on hills, and you have control over the gears. Good song you have on the title too, lol.

I think stick would be fun in the Monte but I also tryed to buy a SS cobalt, that's probaly more fun to drive than my stock 3800

I hear all the time on Top Gear how Jeremy HATES those in traffic. He doesn't mind them on the track, but in the real world he prefers a real manual.
That makes no sense at all. A manumatic is perfect. Drove a silverado with one.

I hate the automatics that have a +/- shift gate (to "manually" shift the car with a slap + or -). I've driven a couple and used it and it's just NOT the same. I'm sure in drag racing it's good, it may be OK in autocrossing (but I have my doubts).
