I hope the automatic isn't faster. I can't tell which transmission was tested for the 0-60 time, but I'm assuming it was the manual. One strange thing I noticed was that the Crossfire's 5mph-60mph test was 6.9 seconds, .4 seconds longer than its 0-60. Is this normal for cars? I don't understand how it could possibly be longer.
