Hi Plumma, yours has 0.84 final drive, your brothers has 0.716 final drive. Allowing for 35" vs 33" you still have a 10% shorter diff ratio which equals 10% more wheel torque at any given speed. Manuals also have a larger exhaust hiousing on the turbo which brings boost later, but will make more torque once revs get past ~ 2200rpm. I'll bet he beats you on fuel economy on long runs. Would like feedback on that.

Cheers,
