It's the same motor and transmission. Same torque as your Type-S

Oh and you guys who keep chirping 1->2 shift need better tires. Even with my 300whp setup I don't chirp 2nd as long as it keeps traction through 1st gear. It tends to break loose at 5500 rpm.

LOL, Hey, I was the one driving the car. To me, it felt gutless. As a matter of fact, you not too far off, but still a Jackass. Of course the auto takes it off the line, but guess what homeslice, I wasn't racing the car on a TEST DRIVE. The Auto Vs the Manual was not an assinine comment. If you think you know it all then you prolly know that autos have more tq and hp loss through the tranny and the fact that is a little heavier being an auto. So I guess I would not be too far off seeing how this was:

1. Brand new car - that would mean not broken in
2. Test drive - not rally circuit
3. Auto - Not my preference anyways
4. Opinionated statement from someone who Drove the car multiple times IMO

Besides, you said "slightly faster" which would mean that it didn't blow the manual away, making my "assinine comment" not so assinine now would it?
