Any thoughts on the differences in a MT?
An mt is all driver related. I ran a 14.8 with my 4.11 5mt but Jesse ran a 14.7 with both his 3.54 5mt and his 3.90 6mt and phastsvx(phil) has run a 14.5 w/ his 4.115mt. Like I said it is all driver related and of course what kind of pwoer your engine has. I personally feel the 3.54 5mt is optimal. It has good acceleration and better gas mileage. I like my 4.11 because it is perfect for the kind of driving I do. It all depends on the person and what they want
