There's no way the 7AT is faster than a 6MT.
They have only driven the 7AT version. For 6MT time, they are just assuming (or using Motortrends time 4.7s). If Jalopnik were to given a 6MT car, we are not sure if they can launch 4.7S like the motortrend. There are too many variables (driver's skill, land elevation, temperature etc) involved. You have to understand, even with 6MT transmission, Motortrend, edmunds, road and track, car & driver magazine, TopGear magazine - they all had different 0 to 60 times! It varied from 4.7 to 5.2.
