well with a good driver the 5 spd is gonna be faster not only by keeping u more in ur power band but it has more HP to the rear wheels. There is 5% more HP in a manual than an auto due to hp lost in the driveline.

------------------
1989 pontiac firebird
bright red exterior(just repainted)
grey interior
5 spd
305 TBI (stock)
WS.6 formula wheels
3.73 posi rear end
-------------------------
system: 2 10" MTX thunder 2000 in a Professionally done custom bandpass box.
Blaupunkt CD player
Blaupunkt 4x6 and 6x9
600 watt rockford fosgate 4.6 amp

thinking about a flowmaster
