I drove a T56 GTO for 3 years and to tell you the truth I don't miss it much with the close ratio 5 spd manual in the GXP with the short throw. Unless you add more horsepower (ie - a V8) it doesn't make much sense to me to add a T56. It is a nice, solid trans though...thats for damn sure....thousands of F-Car, Y-Car and GTO buyers would agree.

The one thing I do miss is the 0-60 in 1st gear...although adding a shift makes things more interesting in the GXP.
