02 6-speed in a 4th Gen - Would it be an advantage?

If the 02 6 speed was put into a 4th gen. Would it make the car any quicker? Anyone want to run a car test on it?

Depends on the gear ratios and since the std test for speed is 1/4", I would assume it would also depend on if the extra shift would be worth the taller(#) gear ratios. But in general, I say yes. But before anyone gets any bright ideas, I heard the new Nissan 6-sp and Altima 5-sps are cable shifted? I don't know how that works for a tranny swap to a fork shifted tranny. Maybe it doesn't matter at all?
