For those of you who are considering cancelling the order on the automatic and reordering the 6spd...DO IT NOW!!!!!!... For those of you who are happy with buying the auto and not considering a change,please remove all sharp objects from the room you are in,B4 you finish reading this thread.........Ready?...here it goes. I recieved my book in the mail on friday. there is a performance section for 0-60 on auto..not good.. The book says 9.5 sec.. I know, pretty shocking considering my wife's 4200lb montero sport hits 60 in just over 8 sec..and the 4cyl pt cruiser under 9sec.. Sorry if this news is a little late..But hopefully helpful for some....
