It's up to you based on how fast you shift the manual. Is it LIKELY you (or anyone, really) will be able to shift faster or as fast as the auto? No. Do you have a chance (however small and improbable)? Yes. The same person who could drive a manual quickly could easily get in an auto, put it in drive, and floor it. Not necessarily true the other way around (since, of course, you have to be able to drive a manual), but still possible.

That sucker looked pretty quick. Can't wait to see it leave at higher revs with a sticky tire!!!

Lol @ out shifting the 8 speed..

Do the manual diehards stand in the mirror every day and repeat that endlessly until they feel secure?

I'd rather try and fail repeatedly than say "oh, it can't be done" and never try.

After he does it for a while and his voice gets tired, his hoarse power increases.

SI does use metric units. The United States uses a system of units commonly referred to as US customary units since most of the rest of the world uses SI (System Internationale).

And electric motors are often rated in Horsepower.

And it seems that he spun the tires just a bit,you can see the traction indicator come on for a second,and I believe that was under 4.0

Think it would be much easier for an auto driver to suck at driving a manual than a manual driver sucking at driving an auto.
