You're seriously making up some ricer math my friend. If a 128i was only 30rwhp less than a 135i then why buy a 135i then when you could throw a cam/full exhaust and have more power.....
I never really noticed the drive train loss for FI cars but now I see that they do retain a bit less drive train loss than N/A cars. 6spd 04 GTOs make a little under 300rwhp (350 hp stock) while 05-06 6spd GTOs make 330-360 rwhp (400 stock) the autos are generally 10-15 hp lower.
Hell, the new ZL1 is interesting either way but auto ZL1's are making 460-470 rwhp while 6spd ZL1's are making 510rwhp+ and they are 580hp stock.

I stopped reading after that bold wording. You lost all credibility with that statement...
For all others that dont understand what I was saying, Ive seen a dyno graph of the "PEAK" HP for both cars only being 30-40 hp difference. All things considered it dosnt really matter much due to different dynos and conditions, but even saying there is a 70 hp difference isnt that much better when you have twin turbos...Again, this is only peak I'm talking about, not midrange.
