These numbers are from Car and Driver.

When a launch is factored out, the difference in acceleration times to 60 are minimal. The auto's taller gears do put it at a disadvantage at the car's upper speed limit.

The disparity between the 0-100 times is a bit surprising given what they recorded for the quarter miles. *shrug* Then again the auto runs out of energy 11 miles per hour earlier.
truthfully,seeing this comparison from a ''rolling start" to 60,makes me feel that the ''slush" would be the better pick,IF fuel mileage is a consideration.
could be a deal maker,along with "perhaps" better re-sale values as the years roll by with the ''slush",however that may be askin' too much! we'll see i guess!
