Cost Delta T-3550 to T-5Z

I'd say the 3550 is worth at least a grand more than the T5. You can find T5's all day for $3-500, but not low mileage 3550's. I see your list of reasons in the other thread, but I assure you the 3550 isn't overkilll. I don't know if you plan on any hard driving with your 65, but one hard 1-2 or 2-3 shift is all it takes and that T5 will sound like you threw a handfull of rocks into a coffee can and started shaking it. I've unfortunately done it more times than I'd like to admit with a stock engine.
