Maybe. I have the 6MT and also the vert. Not sure if it's the weight, or the 6MT, or my driving but I have no trouble finding the line between hooking up and sliding around. Should point out that when I'm doing more aggressive driving, I'm almost always top down. Puts the extra vert weight right over the back axel and lowers the center of gravity also. Get a little bit more shimmy when you do that but it's mild and otherwise the weight distribution is superior to top up.
