Compared to Noblesse (I assume same conditions):
GR86 AT 1min 22.09
GR86 MT 1min 22.78
BRZ AT 1min 23.14
BRZ MT 1min 23.14
If these MT-AT lap time differences for the new twins prove to be consistent, either the AT cars have less power and/or torque, or nothing at all has been done to improve the AT over the first gen. In either case, it's bad news for the AT buyer. There is just no excuse for the AT versions to be significantly slower on track in 2021. The negative effects of the extra weight of the AT cars should be more than offset by their more rapid shifting.
