Default G8 / Commodore manual vs auto

I have been searching all over the web trying to compare the Commodores with manuals and automatics, but can't seem to find too much.

What is the performance difference between the 6M and 6A down under?

Might have to fish the ls1.com.au board for that one.

HSV has the LS2 manual at 4.96 seconds to 60. They have the 6 speed auto at 5.05 seconds

LOL what HSV says and what the cars can do tend to be quite different. Aim for low to mid 5's in both trans variants with the M6 being slightly quicker when pedald hard. My cam only LS1 must do 0-60 in 4 flat if a VE can do it in under 5... I doubt it.
