So after a little group chat debate between me and Deloryan as to who would be faster in a race, I decided to experiment. Obviously the manual is faster...but by how much?
I said it would be very close but Ryan disagreed, sticking by the factory stated 0-60 times of:
10.5 - Auto
9.5 - Manual.
I did a couple of runs(with a friend in the car...slowing it down obviously )
Ended up getting a best time of
9.7 seconds which is considerably faster than the stock rated time.
I also did a run, holding it in 1st until the redline but it just seemed wheezy at the top end and ended up being slower at
10.2 seconds.
This is with the UK exhaust.
I just used an app, (which won’t be 100% accurate due to the GPS refresh rate.)
Also it was on relatively flat, straight road.
I am curious to see other people’s results!
