Looks like there is finally proof, the Manual IS Quicker....

Here is a quote from a discussion someone had with a person that ACTUALLY has tested the new camaro. I knew this was going to be the case all along. People had the times backwards as I thought. 4.6 for MT 4.9 for AT

Quote:

After Al announced 0-60 in 4.6 at the Summit the other night, I walked over and asked him specifically if that time was for the stick or the auto, since I was also under the impression that the auto was supposed to be faster.
Al replied replied that the 4.6 time was indeed, for the stick and that he was the one who actually wrung that time out of the car.
To confirm, I then said, "So the manual is quicker?" and his response was, "Yeah, by a couple of ticks."

... and the manual is actually now very easy to launch with the new Launch Control feature that's available on the SS. Al explained during the info session yesterday that in the right setting, just get the revs up and dump the clutch... and the car takes off with optimal grip. "It will make for very consistent times", was how Al described it.

He also added that they had just found there was actually a little bit of brake drag from the Brembos, and that he would be looking forward to a little better time once that gets ironed

Sweet... This news makes me happy seeing I'll be getting a 6-spd.

So the same should apply with the Aisin 6spd manual for the V6?

No idea, but I am glad this is finally resolved. It was amazing how many people jumped on the AT is faster bandwagon with information that had absolutely no merit. And it spread like WILDFIRE.

I knew all along that this wasn't going to be the case when they actually start to test it. With more HP and TQ, less weight, and launch control the MT can't possibly be slower (with a good driver) But no one listened to reason, I am just glad there is a solid test out there and from the sound of it they may be able to squeeze out another tenth or two when they fix the brake issue :)

MT looks like it will be a high 12's car. AT will be a low 13's car

Thats good I Like........., But the Chally is going to be on that ass with our 0-60 in 4.9

^This isn't horse shoes or hand grenades... First across the line is still first across the line....

You guys better get used to it....

;) :D

Now that more like it! I really looking forward to buy my first NEW car with a manual :)

:popcorn:he said a couple of ticks slower for the auto which means (2) so the automatic should be 4.8 not 4.9 at it's quickest then

Oh please! :laugh:

Wow, 4.6 on the 0-60 mph on the manual with launch control. Impressive!
I wonder what it would do after I install a magnacharger, headers and a less restrictive exhaust...low 4's I hope.

Honestly it could actually run slower if you don't get better suspension and rubber to put that power to the ground. You might spin all the way through 60 mph

guys this cant be true, the auto has optimized shift points, i mean OPTIMIZED SHIFT POINTS.

Yep, you are right. Some R compounds to grip better and avoid a fireworks show on takeoff:laugh:
