I'm in the same boat. I've been drooling over the manual version of this car, it handles great, it's quick enough, especially with an e85 tune, it's perfect for me, but the car would be mainly driven by my wife and she needs an automatic. For me, I'd like to do some autox and track days but I think the automatic is just too slow for that, and I'm probably slow enough on my own and I don't need any more reasons to be even slower. I've been researching E85 tunes for the automatic, but I don't know it makes it as fast as a manual. That would be awesome. I also thought about changing the ring and pinion because that seems to be holding it back too. Has anyone got a 0-60 time with e85 and auto or 0-60 with a lower ring and pinion? I wouldn't mind paying an extra $1000 dollars to have an automatic thats as fast as a manual. Is that possible?
