But again the 6 speed is awesome in cars that have lots of hp because of its torque rating, and like you said close ratio gears. A 5 speed will outperform though from the getgo.

a good driver in a 6spd should have no problem taking care of a 5-speed car with the same power. its all a matter of how well you can get through the gears...
