Auto vs manual and Z51 vs base.

The auto car ran 13.9 @ 95! That was a faster ET and MPH than the manual one, btw.

Here's the thing...that was faster than the Grand National. Not by much but it was faster. At least I think so. The GN may have gotten to 60 faster but that's kind of irrelevant.

GN: quarter mile: 14.7 sec @ 95.1 mph - http://www.motortrend.com/classic/roadt ... ewall.html
GNX: 14.0 sec you'll have covered the quarter mile and be traveling around 105 mph - http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/ro ... buick-gnx/

Yeah so the GNX was definitely faster. That source is questionable for the ET of the GN though. 14.7 seconds indicates a bad launch and a 0-60 well into the 5 seconds (like high 5s).
