If you are drag racing, or autox racing, or pretty much any racing other than big rallies and top speed competitions, you don't need that 5th gear. I bet the built gt-4 doesn't even go out of 4th in a drag. How often do you go over that speed anyway? And, for a boosted motor, you'll have more power through the power band if proper turbo set up. NA needs a 6 speed more because it's harder to keep power on with the cams you have to run with high hp NA set-ups. 6 speed is cool, and it's good for mileage, but it's not god-like. That's why I say it's over-rated. Heck, I use to think I needed a 6 speed in my Mustang. But 5, or even 4 for it, is just fine. That's why, on a properly tuned boosted motor, a 6speed is more for bragging rights than practicality in most cases. If you're really going to use it, go for it. But don't feel like you have to get one.

Playr158, you are an asshole. I'm sick of you. I'm sick of what you do on this board. All you do is try to piss off people. If I had my way, you would have been banned a long time ago. Sure, you do have a nice car, and you've made some nice contributions, but I'm just sick of your mouth. If you weren't some pussy ass internet punk, and where were I could get to you, I would honestly kick your ass. Eat ****, man.

Moderators do whatever you have to me for saying what I did, I'm sick of him, and he needs to know it.
