in theory a stick is faster but driver ability plays a big role. on a stick you have more controle over the rpms. this gives you the ability to launch the car out of a corner or off the line quicker. the pt turbos peak hp is at 5000rpm. i run 2nd to 4500 then do a quick shift to third and run it to 5000 then hold on couse your ridin a rocket now when you slam it into fourth. with quick shifting you can reach those rpms faster with a stick. I believe on the 5 speeds thay should have put the rpm gauge front and center. i use it more then the speedo.
