This is obviously unscientific, but it is entertaining. So just take it for what it is and enjoy!

Sedan is heavier with MT than Coupe with DCT but very, very close. 18's on Coupe should make it faster as well as should the DCT. Test results really don't make much sense. Apples to apples the DCT WILL BE faster. I suspect in that they called the Sedan their "long term" car is is more broken in than the others and that WILL make it develop more power compared to a less broken in car. At least the results for the fairly portly Vert make some sense...
