      Very true. I was drag racing at Crail recently in my manual M140i and just cannot launch anywhere near as quickly as the autos doing a 2nd gear launch. Launching in 2nd really helps control the wheelspin. Amazing cars though, love mine!

      Track Time Videos It’s not only a factor of time to shift gear in a manual, the ratios are different too so they can claw back some (if not all) of lost distance. Manufacturers only state the times for auto gearboxes as ~0.1sec to 100 less than a Manual, but put in an extra gear (say 7-speed auto vs 6-speed manual) in order to cheekily convince the customer the auto is “faster”, as the price premium of the auto is up to $2500 extra, and possibly extra repairs over time, depending.
