The auto has better gearing in the lower gears. As of the tests released so far, the automatic has seemed to edge out the manual in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

Despite those numbers, I'm still hoping the manual is, in fact, capable of pulling better times than the auto. Don't ask me why, but I'd just feel more comfortable with that being the case. It just feels right. <shrug> Probably, cuz I want the manual.

Kinda rationalizing the discrepancy by posing that it's just easier in the auto, whereas the manual requires a bit more finesse. Therefore, I'm still holding out <fingers crossed> for a mag that is actually able to demonstrate that the manual puts down more impressive specs.

Just start the race at 175.
