1g auto or 2g manual build?

[AlexGsxCummins]

So I got 2 questions there is a really clean 2g gsx with a 5 speed, then I own a 92 gsx auto currently, I'm tossing the idea of getting the 2g due to more aftermarket options, I love both body styles I just want to know what you all think I live in Washington so I'm next to metro transmission who can build my auto I'm worried about 5 speeds and the availability of built transmissions for them pros and cons? I've read forums debating the 2 but they were all dated over 3 years ago. Thanks guys

What are your goals for the car? People run 400whp+ on stock 5-speeds without issue. Of course some fail at even stock power but it comes down to the driver and how well the car was maintained.

Also don't both 1g and 2g have about the same aftermarket options??

450torque to the wheels is about all I like to see.. Or dog box it

Well i ask mostly from the older posts i was reading, people were saying the 2g had more options available, seeing as this is my first build and only ever owning a 1g i dont have the knowledge to know if this was true.

My end goal is 600whp, my more current goal is to hit 300whp but be built for my end goal and learn how it feels instead of shooting stright to 600

Id stay with the stock 5-speed for 300-400whp since it will be more fun to drive then once the car is making 600 then look into swapping the auto in so shes a beast in the 1/4
