GSR vs. MR
Is there anyone picking a GSR over the MR simply because it has the traditional manual 5 speed?
I know the SST is a lot quicker and also easier for novice drivers, but I love me some stick.

For the shear excitment of daily driving, I choose the GSR for the stick. Not worth the extra millisecs while road racing 50 miles a year when I'll rack up 10K miles dd'ing.

mmm.....THATS WHAT SHE SAID!
sorry, couldn't help it
The biggest reason people want the GSR over the MR is because the SST probably cant handle as much power as the standard trans, and the upgrade paths for the trans will be VERY different (if existent at all for the SST). In stock trans form, it looks like the GSR manuals are kicking the bucket around 400 whp, so for a stable setup on a stock trans, the two SHOULD be pretty close (given the getrag specs for the SST). Time will tell.

Time will tell.I read this in 0-60, admittedly a decent mag, but now one really knows...yet
Having said that I'd prefer the conventional manual in the GSR.
