I'm not sure why the manual has such a dramatic range but the auto keeps more consistant numbers. The auto can usually put down quarter mile times that range from 13.1 to 13.4 seconds. While the manual also shows a dramatic range that stretches between 13.3 to 13.8 seconds.
The auto is substantially and consistantly faster in magazine numbers. My personal experience is the car is very fast in the spring and fall and the car bogs down some in heat over 93ish degrees here in tx. And I'm not talking about limp mode either. Limp mode is much more dramatic and changes engine speed. I guess hot air goes into the cai, it just loses some power, which is normal but the difference is fairly dramatic.
