I have a toploader and a couple friends have 5-spd. My experience is that the 4spd gives you a feel of an older car thus more a replication of the 60's car. The 5spd gives you the feel of today while still giving you power and MPG. My car has 3.54 rear and with highway driving the rpm's are going strong. Would I want a 5 "no" I want the old feel of the 4. I suggest joining a club near you and try to get a ride in both. It will no doubt be a choice since both work fine when set up correct. My daily runner has a 6spd, wouldn't want that in the snake either.

Best of luck,
Jeff
