Not necessary. You can change an autos shift points to hit about the same every single time and hit the same rpm's a manual can, but shifts way faster. thats when the guy in the manual needs to be on his game.

ive never really timed mine, but id like to. the only 15 seconds of fame i really have is to say that i beat my friends 4.7 chevy off the line at a stop light and pulled away, until i passed a cop and slowed her down...

thats how i launch, hold the break, get the vacuum gauge reading 5, so then ive only got 5 more to go before im at 0 and then from 0 on up to 8psi hits real hard real fast and its gone!
but if i just punch it from a stop it doesnt build boost fast enough to really put u back in ur seat.

id say my 0-60 is about 6 seconds, maybe faster.. maybe not. i guess it depends on if i launch it or not. which im still learning how to do.
