does the late 90's accord v6 can in manual

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Yes, many others share your feelings. The new Accords V6 with 240 hp will come with a manual, but obviously they will be quite expensive.

There is a good alternative, but I'm not sure how much you want to mod your car. You could get a 4 banger 6th gen Accord and swap the H22A engine from a Prelude in there. Faster, manual, etc. its all there. The swap can run around $3500ish installed though, maybe less if you get a good deal.
