The actual delta is around half a second in 7.5 seconds, approximately. This is arithmetically 1.07%. There is variation in the testing but elevation, surface grip and ambient temperature all affect times.

If you don't like Car & Driver's results, what about Motor Trend?
BRZ Limited
- Auto: 7.7 s
- Manual: 6.4 s
Difference:
20% slower, not 1%.
These are actual tested figures. As far as I can tell, Edmunds never tested an automatic FR-S or BRZ.
