It just going to be a show car, I do not street race so i don't see the reason for having to learn standard if I won't be racing it... If I was, I would of picked up a standard one

you got some reading to do
It's not for racing. More like it starts making funny noises when shifting and then stops working. SS automatic tranny's on preludes are ticking time bombs. Just factory flawed. Basically, it'll break down the line. There's a thread on here with 100's of SS tranny's slipping and breaking.

Well I was saying that if I wanted to have a fast car I would of gone with a standard lude, but the carfax report showed no problems, 91k miles on it just about. Won't really expect anything to happen with the tranny, and well, if it did break, I would be screwed lol.. But i am sure when that time comes, I could manage

^Yeah, the carfax showed no problems but that's probably because your tranny hasn't started to break down..yet. When it does, it will cost you a good dollar to get that bad boy fixed and you might even have to keep fixing when it keeps crapping out unless you do a manual swap. I unfortunately own an '01 SS also, and mine is covered until 9/2009 or 100k miles. You might want to check yours out before you reach that mile mark with Honda ownerlink.

p.s. get rid of the carmax stickers
