Jeffn Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Anyone know the penalty for the 5eat in a Leg Ltd wagon? I know in big volume v8s, there's little difference, .01 sec usually. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDubbs Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 .5 to a full second depending who you talk to. Little difference 60-90 (where this car is so great). If you live in a light traffic area, go for the 5MT (the gas mileage is very similar due to it being a 5 spd) No, the name has nothing to do with bragging about 20 inch wheels...

godwhomismike Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 From what I read: GT (mt) - 5.8 seconds GT (auto) - 6.5 seconds - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 .5 to a full second depending who you talk to. Little difference 60-90 (where this car is so great). If you live in a light traffic area, go for the 5MT (the gas mileage is very similar due to it being a 5 spd)Claimed mileage is the same, but the EAT shifts into 5th even around town.. Try shifting into 5th with the MT when you're cruising at 40-45 mph around town, going to get ~35 cruising, probably close to 25 average including stops and starts.

Jeffn Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Worst traffic in the US: NY. Slushbox for me. Man 6.5 secs, not much different from teh Mark 8 I'm driving now. I think the big V8's lose a whole lot less in auto form than in stick. And .03 sec to 60 is considered significant, fyi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
