Again, why so fixated on the 5 spd? I hope you relish in the oh so nice feel of your 5-spd when a box s puts BUS-LENGTHS on your car at the roadcourse and the dragstrip. The box does mid 14's and the box s does high 13's. This is huge. The difference between a 13.8 sec run and 14.4 sec run is a couple big yellow mayflowers. Road and track seem to steer vehicles just fine but something happens when they try to get the car down the strip. They are consistently the slowest out of all major car magazines. They need to take driving lessons from M/T or C&D.
