Manual Conversion

[Eric1969]

You could consider a manual Mach 1 and add a Whipple.

Love the Mach 1. Love the look of the GT500 more.

HPJ in Illinois has converted a handful, last time I spoke to one of the owners. He quoted me around 30K.

Oooooph... Yeah, if it were me, I think I could learn to love the DTC. I completely understand your dilemma, though.

Manual swapping a GT500 would be awesome. I suspect someday it will be more common, especially on GT500s that were driven and develop transmission problems.
I wonder if the GT350 transmission would work on the GT500..?
Definitely a market for a manual GT500. I would certainly buy one. Unfortunately, the GT500s are still pretty new and I feel it will be challenging swapping it to a manual in the near future. The aftermarket companies may develop a manual for it but that will take time.
Good luck OP if you decide to actually swap the transmission!

If you have the money and want it, go for it. Just remember when you do sell you will not get your money back, if that matters.

You only live once.

You'd be better off buying used underwear on eBay. Or just burn the money in the fireplace and keep warm for a day or two.

I’d like to hear from one of the owners that went through the conversion.

No, not yet. I had a 3rd party inspect it and he drove it.
