Because the delta is pretty much the same regardless of which figures you use it has to be mainly gearing.
Top speeds are 211 and 221 respectively proving that the AT top gear gearing is too tall to pull top speed.
People think launch is so critical to better acceleration timed but that's only true if you have lots of excess torque to deal with, not the case with the BRZ.
Also, awd is often quicker off the line because it reduces wheelspin.
Drag racing on wrinkle slicks is a whole other ball game. There wheelspin affects overall gearing due to the wrinkled sidewalls.
