I got the 987 with the 5 speed. In all honesty I did not notice too much of a difference between the two. If you are asking if it will make a performance difference then I guess I would have to say yes. The issue is the point where it would be advantageous. A normal persons driving ability will be their biggest flaw. If you were a professional race car driver I think this may have some advantage but for everyday driving and the occasional fun run it will not make a big enough difference to warrant the price tag that is attached to it. On the other had if you are the type that has to/wants to impress others then having a 6 speed will be more advantageous to you.
I dont mean that in a derogatory way at all. My friends came to check out the car and one of the first things they said was "What? No six speed?". They are not into cars as much as me so to them a sports car has to have a six speed. That's just what the public thinks. The more gears the faster it is.
My advice, unless you want PASM get the 5 speed and be happy you saved 3 grand.
