Message	a five speed. I would take the 5 speed hands down anyday but mainly for me is that I have control over the RPMs and shift points. Now, if you really want the 'point and punch' experience then an automatic is great. I had Specialty-Z's built automatic transmission and it's nothing less than incredible. Shifts are more like skips into the gears and if you set the torque converter up correctly the power is ALWAYS there as downshifts are always perfect and extremely fast. Again, as much as that auto was perfect I still prefer the 5 speed. Just my $0.02. "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." - Vince Lombardi
