Horsepower - POSSIBLY the 5 speed

Driveability - DEFINITELY the 6 speed

I think the 6speed is a disappointment. The 6th gear isnt any better on the highway than the 5th gear on the 5speed. The 4th is short so you must shift to 5th in the 1/4 mile and its proven to have a weak 4th gear that breaks when you start making some good power.

5speed FTW.

5 speed for sure.

Needing 5th in the quarter really sucks.

Even during street pulls you need to shift to often and in a 5spd you can easily gain ground over the 6spd extra shifts
