Top speed of the standards is 147mph which is redlining 5th. I'd have to do the math, but I have an odd feeling the auto just doesn't have the gearing to do it. That and parasitic loss is still a factor.
I love messing with my brother about his supposed faster T/A...but I have more fun since his is an auto (and he HATES it).
Anyone that actually enjoys driving, needs a standard IMHO, if you just want to drag-race or cruise, get an auto.
