News flash-

Manuals are harder to launch at a drag strip, IRS suffers from wheel hop problems.

I know you're shocked, I am too /sarcasm.

Considering a bone stock, unbroken in auto GT with 20's and 3.15's ran a 12.8 with 87 octane fuel, it's safe to say this car isn't going to be a slowpoke. I'm guessing auto base GT's with proper fuel and 3.55's will be running 12.6's or so bone stock.
