Meh, to your earlier point, I'm sure they tested a ton of twins under different conditions and there's many variables at play.

Of course. Assuming the driver is fluent using a manual though, a 1.7 second advantage (good point re: avoiding the torque dip) is a HUGE difference.

It could be the difference between winning or...

Totally overcompensating by purchasing a 200hp, no frills, Japanese coupe with a manual transmission.

Considering an AT

No I get it, totally fair question. In my mind, right or wrong, the MT in the twins is MUCH better vs some of its peers, relative to the AT.

This car does have a slush box though. Regardless of its sporty 'intentions' the AT is a traditional torque-converter. It's not even as good as Merc's old wet clutch set up in AMGs let alone anything...
