No offense here, I'm just going by the stats I've seen. And it seems that it's about even, with the fifth gens a little faster in both catagories on some tests, in only 0-60 in others. There's hardly enough of a difference to say that the 4th gen is faster. If you and I raced 5 times in the quarter, I bet we would each win two and tie the fifth. But the fifth gen does have a little more than slight edge on 0-60.

BTW, 1999-2001 had 200 hp on the five speeds, 195 for the sport shifts. Just an FYI.
