I wouldn't say the manual is great stock either, for some reason they didn't use the transmission from the NA Supra and went with a truck based one with a massively heavy flywheel, it took a lot of massaging and creativity to get it to a point where it feels useable and even then you gotta wait for it to warm up as it can feel super notchy otherwise. That said, I do wish the automatic was a manual more often than I wish the manual was an automatic lol

I've lusted for a IS300 manual for the longest time. You just dampened the parade.
