Sorry I'm bringing this up from being left along for 2 weeks, but figured I'd mention this. On the day I had the car running bottom 12's one of the runs I ran a 13-14 5.0 car that atleast had an exhaust, and beat him from start to finish. I didn't see him stop my pull at all so I'd guess on an auto 5.0 you'd atleast need a tune/cai/tires and a decent gear to run with a tune/tire ecoboost. Which is absolutely crazy.

I watched the OP video again...its cool seeing the car squat before the launch at about :57.
Surprised that the stock automatic still runs that fast and can launch that hard. Do you guys think the manual would be faster?

I noticed that squat too. Looks like it's about to pounce. I'm thinking that having a little ore weight in the rear with the IRS and less up front with that light engine, has gotta be making it an easy car to 60'. Doubt the manual will be nearly as simple.

I doubt the manual car would be anywhere near the auto when tuned. Mainly because its a turbo car so you cant get the turbo going before you leave and lose boost at shifts. I'm not sure about the turbo upgrades stone, but I think track wise it wont take much mroe for the eco to be very competitive against my cars best times to date. My car's not very set up for the track tho, being a 6speed car and not the best wheel/tire it's hard to really match them up. especially since my car would eat the thing up on the street from any roll.
