thisisntjared \|V3\|2D Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,186	that is weird... i noticed a similar trend in subarus. not between the auto and the manual but between the manual 5spd and 6spd. the top gear on the 6th (top speed ~=150) is substantially shorter than the top gear on the 5th (top speed ~=160). i think gms tall gears are the secret to their success with any kind of efficiency. i mean how else are you going to get a 400+hp sports car to get 30mpg on the highway? slow down that motor. __________________ don't waste your time or time will waste you
