Hello, this will probably sound a lil newbiesh but I have seen many different numbers for the 0-60 6mt and the 5AT, I was wondering if you guys had the numbers that you subscribe to as pretty accurate. I want to really see how much faster the 6mt is over the 5at. Also does the manumatic help a lot for the 5at? Thank you!

I think the average 0-60 times for the 6MT are 5.5-5.7 seconds. The average times for the 5AT are like 5.8-6.0? Whatever it is, the difference is very marginal and should not affect your decision. I raced a G35C 5AT (I have a 6MT) once and we were literally neck and neck all the way to 80mph, but I love to row my own gears and work the clutch, so I prefer the 6MT.

Well for what its worth. I have a 6 speed and a good friend of mine has an auto. We raced from about 20-100 and I pulled him by about a car and a half.
His dynoed at 225 with a Greddy SP axle back and Injen intake. Mine dynoed 231 bone stock about 3 hours apart on the same dyno. He was bone stock also when we raced.

From what I've seen the manual Coupe can be mid 5's 0-60, and the A/T Coupe can be high 5's.
They're close, but the 6M/T with it's better gearing and an extra cog, should win (albeit marginally).
It's debatable as to whether the A/T it quicker (to 60) in manual mode or not, but it's fun to play with, and makes 'spirited' driving in the twisties fun too.
