I want to proove to a friend that the autos are not like .5 to 1 sec slower than manuals like he thinks they are ! grrrr and i can't find a link to proove that. Any performance test done in an automatic? anyone know of? Thanks

ive been trying to prove that same point to some of my friends 2!

car hasnt broken in yet so i cant prove it by g-tech, and can't find anything on auto.gt's...

IfI rememberreading the article correctly,Motor trend could get the auto 5.1, and the manual 5.3 in the 0 - 60. It's a 5 speed auto, so the missing of gears and slow shifting if avoided.

I cant find the link to that myredgt

I have a G-tech SS and I dont know why but my 0 - 60 times are like if i were a V6 [:@]

The auto is always a better shift which means better 0-60 for sure!! But what about the 3.31 diff???

Correct, the gearing is different and you cant hold it in the power band as long as with a manual. But they are really about equal when you get rid of the throttle lag.

The g-tech are not spot on accurate, many factors can mess with it. It can give general numbers but I would bet money with them.

Speaking strictly based on track #'s. I am still stock geared and on the P-zero's. But I have done just about everything else short of NO2 or supercharging. My best 2 weekends ago
1.996 60ft (I am having issues with the P-zero's hooking)
5.606 330ft @ 64.35mph
8.497 1/8th @ 85.23mph
The auto is really a dog with the factory tune. However, once the tranny itself has been tuned to match what the car is doing they aregreat.

If anyone with a five speed can chime in that has been modded comparably then it should be an apples to apples comparison. I am curious also. No one has my mods at the track soI have not been able to run a five speed that compares.
