Has anyone had the chance to compare the 2005 manual (are the new 2005's coming with the new getrag 5 speed, or is that coming after January?) with the new getrag setup to the 2004 setup directly? I drove a 2004, and absolutely loved the way it shifted, and how forgiving the clutch was--for me, it was smoother and easier to shift than the 2004 S. I'm wondering if the new manual is closer to the S, or to the old 2004 base.
