Got 6spd?

Another thread made me think of this, but given the general exclusivity of owning a 6-speed, I wondered if we could get a roll call of 6-speed owners on the board here? I know from lurking a bit that many of us have made the transition from auto/slushes to 6-spds, but out of roughly 2700 how many do we have here?

Personally, outside of these boards, I have seen zero (0) 6-spds on the DE roads. All autos, very few '03's.

Sound off please if you have a 6-speed - it'd be nice to keep a running list of folks to discuss issues as they may arise.

I have a 6 speed and I'm wondering how you can tell a car on the road is a 6 speed? I wish Acura had badged it 6-speed, like they used to do on the Preludes. I'm working on badging mine.

Another six speeder here. I'm coming on my one year anniversary in a few days. I'm just pushing 11,000 miles now.

This roll call has been done before. Last time I think there were about 30 of us. I bet we're up to 50 or 60 now.

BTW, how do you tell a 6 speed from outside?

The VIN from the 2003 model year has both auto and manual trannys mixed together. You cannot tell what number of the 2700 you are from the VIN.

Unless you are privy to the actual logs from the factory, there is no way to know which one of the 2700 you have.

I've only seen one other '03 on the road (determined my the rims and clear lenses on the rear lights - not infallible, I know) and, when driving right next to it, could see the guy's right hand on the wheel the whole time, starting from a light. Other than that, it's been '01s and '02s the whole way.

Is 2700 the number of CL-Ss produced in total?
Wow, that makes my S2000 look like a high production car

Honda/Acura's original press releases about the six-speed manual said that only 2700 will be produced. You can probably dig around http://www.acuranews.com for the original release.
