wrong the stock six speed has weak/thin 4-6 gears and auto-xing/road racing will reek havoc on those gears and overheat them
the five speed is better all around
c/f hood saves you about half a pound at best...some even weigh more
and WTF would you put an after market sound system in a car you intend to race?

There have been more than a few heat-induced failures of 4th gear in the 6-speed.
If you truly are going to road race, get the 5 speed.

4th gear is the weak link in the 6spd trans but u can make it stronger with a little dough and installing a trans cooler, probably better to swap a 5spd so not buying a mr is the way to go. I would buy the rs if i had to do it again, i've autox and draged.
