Your vote helps determine my next move!!!

I'm considering converting my car from an automatic to a 5 speed manual. Some say its easy, some people I know say its next to impossible. I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm looking to do it for two reasons. 1) Stick is more fun 2) Stick is rarer. I've seen a pretty decent amount of third gen trans ams, but only a handful in stick, and none of them were for sale. Anyway, I'm in a debate with my dad. He says that it would lower the value of the car because it woudnt be the original transmission and, because fewer people can drive stick, it would limit my potential market when the time comes to sell. I say that it doesnt matter since the engine isnt original anyway, and that while it will lower the number of potential buyers, the ones who are able to drive stick will pay more for it, because its a trans am, not grandma's food fetcher. So, when i get some money together (im broke from the soundsystem.) I may be in the markey for a manual transmission setup. What do u guys think? Which would you be willing to pay more for, a stick or an auto?
