That's a misconception. What you really get with a 6 speed is closer gear ratios. The T56 in an '03 Cobra has ratios ranging from 2.97 to 0.62. Compare that to a Motorsport T5 with 2.95 to 0.63.65conv50 said:6th gear keeps the RPM down on the highway (you only use it above 60 MPH), improves mileage and greatly reduces engine wear, which will make them last longer and behave like new longer.
SVTdriver said:Cool so we should become like the rest of the lemmings and get a 6 speed. Hey since people put big wings on the s2000...
I don't want my rpms that much lower. Then I have to downshift 2 gears to start moving fast. I've seen a 98 cobra get 27 miles per gallon. I don't think that's exactly poor gas mileage. I get about 18. But I've always got my foot into it. When I don't I get better mileage.
The reality is the 6 speed would be more expensive. And you only need to look through some of these threads to find people already complaining about price. You can't have your cake and eat it too all the time.
Is the fact that it only has a 5 speed the reason you aren't buying one?
