Trust me when I say you want the 6-speed if you have a choice. The 5 speed is a pain in the ass for every day driving because of the gearing. Basically, on a road trip, if you want to keep the car at about 80 or so then you have to keep changing between on and off boost and that eats gas. It is hard to explain unless you drive one yourself and see. Plus, the 6 speed is better for road course driving, imho. It really all depends on what you are using the car for (what your focus is). As a bonus, the Bilstein shocks in the MR are better than the regular GSR, so choose the MR!


And the best upgrade for the 9 ( not counting the performance aspect) is the seats. The 9 seats would match my color-scheme perfectly. I hate HATE the blue Recaros. What were they thinking with those?
