So it is possible to make a high performance 5 speed? how much hp/torque do you think the car could handle if the the 5 speed was made more high performance oriented?

ob btw, is a short throw kit a possibility?
I think the Subaru Manual Tranny's will hold up much better than the Autos do, plus they're cheaper & easier to come by, if they do go bad.

As for the short throw shifter, I Modified a stock Impreza Shifter for my SVX by lengthening the rods, so one of the aftermarket Impreza shifters could be modified the same way.
