Slower? Maybe a little, but the Porsche Carrera S I encountered the other evening
had a manual shift, and it only helped him a little, out of the hole. And, I do believe
there was a bit of hesitation on my part, as I was behind him at the start, and I did
not know for sure if he was going to go for it, so I held back just a bit before punching
down on the accelerator.
