That's true, if you pause the video when they show the MPH, they are driving the car around the course is "D" mode as opposed to
"S" with Traction control and Stability OFF.
Whether the manual would have did better is debatable,...

We're not talking about a straight line test here. With the same driver, the M6 will be faster than the A6 around the Top Gear track. That's a fact. Put the Stig behind the wheel of an M6 SS and the time would be faster. It has nothing to do with engine and everything to do with transmission when racing on a road course.

How much faster would it be? ".1" seconds? .2 seconds? So your really telling me that stock vs stock the manual transmission is better than the automatic?
