That had occured to me! But "on paper" it doesn't appear to be that much difference, just wondered if on the road it felt that much quicker. Guess there is only one way to find out, try 'em both.
Of course the other thought is get a decent 5spd and spend some of the dosh saved, on exhausts and remap etc., to add a little more sparkle?!
Anyway going to try an 2005 5spd tomorrow.
Well Ive only heard its better tbh. I drive around mostly in 3rd gear makes a lovely rumble but would love to be able to change through the gears like you can in the 6 speed -/+
Let us know :)
