in the GTP.

Also depends if its an auto....they are a bit slower due to the tranny and the auto's have 212hp were as the 6spd has 232hp.

I said M6 in the original post haha, yeah the auto's are nothing special at all. I don't even think they make 212, at least the early model ones, they only made a mere 197.

Oh yeah and don't forget, even the manual tranny with 237 hp makes a whopping 149 lbs/ft. of torque
