Not sure how far behind an auto would be but the FTO would definitely not be beating it off the line, at least not after 1st gear, those things haul ass with quite a fair amount of torque, they just seem to keep going all through the rev range - was quite satisfying. FTO would be fairly close behind after a quarter, but not even or ahead.
Gotten me thinking about how much ass a twin turbo version would haul

Least now i can see why p platers want them
