Torque split aside, the 5mt give you better weight distribution (It's MUCH lighter than the auto) and makes the car they way it SHOULD have been from the factory
Im pretty sure the 5mt is rear-biased aswell. It is possible to lock the 4EAT in 50/50 but its not good because then you get alot of binding while turning, how would the 5mt be any different here if it is also 50/50?
