V8 Manual (?!?!?!?!)

Im looking for a 1990 Audi V8 but dont want an automatic transmission. Does anyone know how much work (and money) it would have to take to put a manual 5 (or 6) speed transmission in? If not can anyone tell me how fast (0-60 and 1/4th mile) i can get the automatic V8 Quattro up to? (Looking for around 10 seconds with maybe twin turbo, wanting to avoid NOS at all costs!!!)

No, there are manual V8's...five of them in the US, I believe. More in Europe, I'm sure.

Uhhh no...

there are more than 5 5 speed V8Q's in the United States. Trust me. They are rare but not that rare!

In fact there are 3 floating around the town I live in. Makes me very jealous...

I thought I "heard" once that there were 150+ 90-91 V8Q's 5 speeds imported into the US...
