I think he meant buy a 5 speed lol.
But answering your question, best I got in auto was 15.75, but I got a 15.3 in manual mode, so saved almost half a second. I know that wouldn't have been the only factor, but it's a pretty big difference.

It might be easier for people to answer if you define the Racing you intend doing.
Circuit. Rally. Sprint, Hillclimb. Drag. Offroad.

Shift the stick to the left, into performance mode. Anyway, if you are racing a corolla sportivo, you've got nothing to worry about. If you are both stock, you will take the lead, no problem at all.

never.speed....
the only time speeding is allowed, is on the track (race track, not your local neighbourhood road with a roundabout) or on the 1/4mile.. simple as that.. if you can't resist the urge, i suggest you hand in your license and sell your car.
