there was no difference from the 08:dunno:
The ECM system is badass on the v6 we're getting close to 30mpg
Also the 6speed comes w/ a different engine, so the difference is more pronounced. Not just an extra gear over 5spd auto and sportier ratios, along w/ the other advantages of a manual, it's also got more low and midrange torque. Different tuning w/out the VCM that the V6 autos come with.
