That's OK, I like it anyway. 4 and 5 speeds with the same set up would be faster, but only with a good driver.

thanks rev. that sounds like a good setup you've got there. i'm hoping for an auto (never thought i'd say that!)myself. i've driven nothing but standards since i was 12 yrs. old. (don't tell the po po )i guess in my old age, i'm ready for an auto, but only one with gahones enough to please. that's where the 5.0 comes in.
