The 30v has 14 more hp, which would probably make it slightly faster.

Default I managed to drag race a 30V tip on the sear's point straightaway twice 2 years ago...

and each time I was passing him at the midway point, along with a chipped passat. He later passed me in Laguna Seca that year because I was caught in some traffic. But I would have to say the 5 speed has a slight advantage over a power robbing tip - at least until the tip picks up enough speed coming out of corners the corners and goes into lockup mode. There is also a weight penalty of his car vs my slightly lighter 12V with a few mods. He had a chip and exhaust and was manually shifting his tip.
