Exactly what brickie said. My 6sp does excellent on mileage when I keep the rpms very low. Before my Edge though I had some turbo lag and it is a long throw between gears. But it has performed flawlessly. I'm surprised you can even find a 6sp, had to order mine.

I agree with the previous posts. Can't race with the 6 speed. I have one and it just takes too long between gears, and your boost pressure drops too low.. once you get in a high gear and put your foot in it, the thing will run though!

The manual would be best for big towing and better overall mpg. The auto excels as a daily driver or racer and is much easier to find. In fact, finding a needle in a haystack might be easier than finding a 6 speed manual.
Good luck either way

Here is a 2004 PSD smoking a Mustang. Right over 13 seconds at 103 MPH.
Anything can be raced. It all about how much money you want to spend.

Manual is typically always faster than auto as far as cars go and much more relaible. However the guys above are right about the throw and I doubt they make a short shifter for a PSD.
