Gotta remember after launching.. You don't have to worry about a mis shift, a botched downshift, a missed heal toe, and the gear ratio is almost the same.. Better through the corners if you have to shift as there is no weight transfer.. You knock the auto, but it will surprise you

Yea it will surprise you being 1.5 seconds slower than the manual in the 1/4 mile. About the same on the track difference as well. Ask me how I know. Go ahead.
