My understanding from talking with A10 drivers at the track. yup it's heavier but it's also a good bit faster. why is it faster, when compared to the stick, the A10 has 6 gears that span the range when compared to the manual going from 2-5. said another way, I use 2nd through 5th in my stick on track and when you look at the ratios of the A10, it has 6 gears across that range rather than my 4. so you're in the power band more of the time with the A10. Also, no lag while shifting compared to when I clutch.

The A10 drivers did also say they had to watch their temps. I can't remember if the trans cooling is tied to diff or engine, but my understanding was that the trans heat was causing temps to be watched elsewhere.
