Really, which is faster AT vs MT?
In this second gen the horsepower is the same in the MT vs AT. I saw a video where a couple guys were racing on the freeway. It seemed like the automatic had the edge.
Are there any numbers or dater that suggest otherwise? |

Getting this car with an automatic is a capital offense.

If you’re asking that question you probably won’t enjoy this car in either configuration. Look into a Mustang/370Z.
Edit: nevermind, looks like you have a 2020 already lol. Manual should still have the edge because of better gearing, but I don’t think any of us are bothered enough to find out. |

depends on usage.
in the curves, with many and varied RPM's? it's not called 'autotragic' for nothing. 'wrong gear, pullin' up tha rear' on the quarter mile? manual shift 'speed' is going to be directly related more to the inept human operating the controls. could be faster, could be slower. but if any of that is important to you, this car won't be. get a mustang or a focus rs.

Doing rolls against other slow friends, my auto seems to fair well because of quick enough auto. I am now transitioning to 2nd gen manual because I miss the manual shifting.
Tldr depends on what you’re doing but if you’re going to pinch pennies mt vs at for speed then maybe you wouldn’t ultimately enjoy the car like others said. |

The last couple days have been second guessing my choice for a MT. I feel like it’s a side effect of waiting for the dang thing to come in. If it wasn’t a waiting game I probably wouldn’t be second guessing myself as I would have the car by now and having a good time with it. |

In defense of the automatic (which I bought... on purpose), it is a really good autobox. In anything but the ultra-tall first gear, the auto will be as fast or faster unless you are the reincarnation of Aryton Senna.

Most auto mags etc. that have tested both place the auto about a second slower than the manual. The auto’s good, but it’s not faster than the manual.

Depends on who is driving it.

Calm down dude. We all agree the it’s great to get a manual, but you don’t have to get all worked up for some of us that buy autos. You don’t know their training and it’s kinda unfair to put anyone down for wanting an auto.
I’ve owned gen1 manual and auto, and I’m as fast at Autobahn North as the fastest time posted on your link for best track times. (And that was a heavily modified car, similar to mine). Point is, no need to be so brazen. Plenty of reasons to buy a manual, and plenty to buy an auto. |
