And that will buy you what? That's not even apples/oranges. Maybe apples/pine cones.

We're talking what...1000 hp special purpose vehicles vs. workhorse?

The 6 speed shifts fine...just drive it like a truck w/ a very slight pause in the nuetral positon. Click out, click into new.

Wanna quick ratio, slick shifting sports car..get a sports car.

My opinion is worth everything you paid for it.

Thanks again

That sucks! Our work truck is like that, too. I hand calculated 11.8mpg for 1130 mile trip towing 8000 lb throug the hills with 400+ hp! I LOVE MY CUMMINS!
