If you consider a true 0-60 yeah. But you also have to consider the gearing is different between the two, with taller gears in the AT.

I am sorry to bring this 2 months old post up ,, but I wanted to share my opinion.
If you enjoy this car in AT,it is nothing wrong with it.

On the other hand,I personally prefer "manual" in sport car like this. I like to downshift and hear the gear rev-ing sound when I turn corners. Driving in traffic, or up hill is pain, but I still like the vibration of the clutch and it make me feel the car is alive. Also, my ultimate goal is to drift, so driving a manual car is a must, and I will drive manual car from now on. (except getting a suv after having kids.)

This is just my opinion.

Agree, this car begs for that third peddal. But the last time I spoke on this, I was labled a troll. 1.2 seconds is a lot in car time. IMO this car shouldnt even come with as n automatic. The full package is the stick on this kind of car. Labled troll or whatever...this car is just more fun in manual form.

I think it's funny how people try and convince me that I made a mistake buying an automatic.

I have my reasons and don't have a single regret. And, yes, I drove a manual first.

Now, I have to get around to ordering that 4.88.
