5th Gen 5Sp versus 5.5 Gen Auto
5th Gen 5Sp versus 5.5 Gen Auto... Who would win? Curiosity... Was standing at a light this afternoon with a 5.5 gen... Looking over it was an AUTO. Would have loved to race him, but I don't do that.

Just curious., I know a 5th Gen 5spd would get smoked by a 5.5 6Spd. But, what would happen when a 5th Gen 5spd takes on a 5.5 Gen AUTO...

is this crap..

Actually the 6MT and 4AT 5.5gs are very close/similar in 1/4 performance. If you can run a 14.6-8, then you will be very close to beating it.

No rush hour by me... Traffic to me is driving 35mph on a 50mph zone... I have 4 lights on my daily commute and I am almost always the only car at the light. Love the NY burbs...
When I lived in the city it took me 30 minutes to drive 5 miles. Now, it's more like 8 minutes...
