I say get both cars in 6 speeds because they are each unique and will not be boring at all. I have two 6 speed cars and when you don't drive one car for a month it feels way different, like you're being re-acquainted. Kind of like having two girlfriends that know about each other and when you sleep with one after a month it makes you yell "damn you feel great!" Having only one hobby car would get boring for me, maybe that's why I'm still single? Haha

I also say to save up above what you plan to buy before even thinking of purchasing that item because there are always extra costs involved. I saved up a bunch way before I got my T56 Magnum to cover all the installation expenses. Same went for the cage, suspension, brakes, fuel cell, etc. I saved up enough capital and then some before I went and tackled a modification project.
