    No, they both have the same engine/turbocharger.

    I, and some magazines, think that the 5-speed manual is quicker. As long as you know how to shift and at the right points, you can shave 0.2 to 0.5 secs from 0-60.

    Yes the 5 speed should be faster. But when I drive my wifes 855 turbo (Auto) and mash the pedal, except for the initial startup, there's no turbo lag when its going (shifting) through the gears. I beat her when we impromptu race so my car is faster, but her car seems faster to my butt when driving it.
