tbh, you'll be fine with the 6MT in austin, it's not as bad as...say, san francisco? just practice in the parking lots for a while and you'll be alright. just watch for potholes. seems like austin roads are littered with potholes the size of caverns!
Exactly haha, Austin roads are narrow and pretty rough, I was just concerned about having to worry about shifting while also navigating around the many potholes there.

I see so many 350s around campus, but I can't wait to bring a 370 up there
Final question, have any of you guys had carbon powder coating done on your Rays? I am blacking the car out but can't decide between swapping the Rays for AM wheels or just powder coating them

once you get the hang of shifting you will never thing of it as a "task." it will come natural so your only focus would be avoiding the pot holes.

also once you are comfortable with it you will love the country roads outside of austin....went up to plenty of meets and cruises in atx while i still lived in san antonio.
