Any official 0-60 times between auto and manual?
so far i have not seen any real 0-60 times between the auto and manual of the FR-S or the BRZ, does anyone know a good source that did this testing?
this might sway me to decide what i would choose. pros and cons. automatic: better on gas easier in traffic could use the free hand to hold a girls hand could eat a hamburger Manual: like driving a car what enthusiast should get lighter cheaper anyways let me know if there were posted times for 0-60 for auto and manual. |

Your driving style will have a bigger effect on mileage then the transmission will, so ymmv.
You can still hold and eat a hamburger while driving a manual. A friend of mine shifts through 18 gears with a tea in one hand and his lunch in the other, regularly. Just food for thought |

So that's why those guys merge without signaling or looking, they are just not holding the steering wheel. It all makes sense now

Driving a manual makes it so much easier to miss the shifter and grab a knee

Official 0-60 is 7.3 for 6MT and 8.0 for 6AT.
Official 1/4mi is 15.6 for 6MT and 16.1 6AT. Jeff

The six speed would probably only be like .5 seconds faster.
The six speed would still be way more fun to drive, defiantly if your going to the track |

According to the dealer 80% of the models will be produced in the manual version, 20% in the auto. With a car like this, why would you even consider getting an auto!?

Yeah with the First 86's about 75% order manuals! I am getting a manual myself. IDK just more control overall.
