well the rated flywheel hp and tq is the same since the SS and 5spd use the same engine, but as on any automatic tranny, theres more power loss, and the shifts arnt as fast or as hard as a true manual is. on the SS it is much harder to launch the car since you'd break youe tranny in no time if you nutral dropped it, and you cant rev up past 2000 or so rpms power breaking before the tires begin to spin. your best bet is to buy a 5spd. i love mine and it isnt as much of a hastle as its made out to be. i personaly never plan on buying another automatic if i can avoid it.
