The 5 speed V8 was available only in 1991. The performance numbers were much
better for the 5 speed ( zero to 60 in less than seven seconds).  As for
availabiltiy in the U.S., I have heard that there are as few as 50 and as
many as 200 that were imported.  
If anyone has that info I would be interested.
