The MR evo 9 is quicker around the track than the 5 speed as well....but i wondering why auto put down more tq, and the shop owner said in his 20 years of service, auto tranny's put down a little more tq than man. b/c of the way autos are configured, but they do not always yeild the same horsepower.
But the real reason behind automakers putting these triptronic autos in cars is for sales..if more people can drive the car, more will buy..at least that is what they think!!!
