It seems pretty consistent that either the SKY RL or GXP with an Auto is getting faster 0-60, ETs, and 60' times. But it's like a difference of a couple tenths. A couple tenths, when we won't be taking this car to the strip anyways, is no where near enough difference for me to want to give up the fun of driving the manual instead.
