Well this is going to sound dumb, but I never knew the GT came with a 5 speed option! I thought you could only get the autostick... I'll look into that. The 5 speed in my PT is not necessarily weak, but I am hoping to run around 300-350 horse and similar torque, so I need something tougher just to be safe.
