Like older cars doing a auto-manual conversion , you can use a manual ECU of the same model. And do some rewiring to configure the reverse signal sender , Park and neutral selection etc.

but for such a new car , i would strongly not recommend such a mod. It wont bring your 1/4 down or wakefield times down if at all. And the resale will be reduced too.
All for the price of possibly $3-5k all parts n labour at a workshop. Not worth it.

Just stay with your decision and drive auto and get as good as you can or sell it and get a manual car.
thanks for your input. I dont plan on selling this car at all, i will keep it for all my life lol. Why wouldnt it bring my 1/4 mile or wakefield times down? a 6 speed close ratio gearbox should be faster and also the lsd will give me better control on the track wont it? The car is still relatively new so i am not doing it straight away, i will most likely wait till the car is older but i am just researching into which parts i may need for the conversion.

Also if i do buy a manual euro, how do i change the gear ratios without replacing the whole box? i was thinking even if i do buy a manual i would need to buy a light flywheel/ HD clutch, LSD etc and all up + labour would still cost me at least $3k...
