Something I've been wondering a while is which tranny will allow the Insight to get to 60 faster. From what I understand, people have been saying 5spd is rated for around 11 sec and the CVT around 14 sec? Has anyone really tested this?
Reason I'm asking is cause from what I've seen on 5spd Insights, if you floor it, the tach stays at around 2.5K w/full ASST on the first two shifts. The CVT Insight on the other hand, allows full assist and isn't limited to the 2.5K tach limit.
Now, I'm no car expert, but shouldn't the CVT pull ahead of the 5spd Insight here?
