Sequential
Manual
Gearbox

Paddle shifters, but using an actual manual gearbox, not the bs autostick you find in a lot of cars (which is an automatic). The e46 generation of M3's (01-06) has an available one (it was first released in the e36 generation), and it uses the exact same getrag 6-sp manual gearbox, but uses clutches and actuators to do the shifting. It is pretty cool, as it shifts amazingly quickly. Jerks you back and forth pretty good.

np...the next advancement for the new generation is a dual clutch gearbox, so it shifts f1 style, but since there are two separate clutches, the power is never disengaged...i.e. no jerkin...i like jerkin.

No, though they did do an autostick type thing with the last generation of preludes. Other members on here are better in tune with what's coming donw the pipe from them. I would expect it to be in the S2000, if anything.

I'll make this as simple as possible. within each generation, the slowest V6 model is still faster than the fastest I4 accord (auto or manual)

Slowest V6 model...are you talking across the entire product line, or within model? Which model had more than one V6 offered?

Custom ECU chip to change the shift points and shift style...
