True to real life, RR show manual shifts as being a little slower. I noticed this when first driving the car, as well I noticed it to high while racing my (manual) GT350 vs a teammates Aston. My car has a better 0-60 AND top speed, yet every time I shifted, he gained on me. It's cool to see that realistic detail in the game (as it should be), and likely a contributing factor to PR. And I pretty much confirmed it. Drag Racing my Hennessey with the exact same 0-60 and an 8 MPH top speed advantage over my Regera, it's still .166 slower, and traps about 3 MPH less. Explains the lower PR despite better stats. Just doesn't put the power down as well, certainly for one, due to the transmission. 0-60 never tells the whole story, 0-30 is probably more important in a drag race, but that's not a value that's shown in the stats
