I still think the auto is slow. Compared to most other offerings out there the auto in the FR-S is not close in performance to its manual counterpart.

1.3-1.5 second difference in time between the two is horrible. Not bad, but horrible.

Majority of the time the auto counterpart is still slower, but only by a difference of about .3 to .5

It may shift faster, and allow you to downshift while rev matching but it lacks the ability to keep up by any means to its counterpart.
it's NOT the transmission,it's the GEARING which is different.this accounts for the performance difference.
