I can't say whether the other guy had a stick or auto, but while playing tag on a 1.5 hour stretch of highway between London and Toronto Ontario once we were in the 150-200 km range he just couldn't keep up! (nor lose me when it was his turn to lead)
I'll give you this though- there was an accident in our lane which cased a slowdown (stop) in traffic- I let him in in front of me and once we cleared the accident (read open road) he took off and I couldn't quite keep up with him (I wasn't too far behind though)
So perhaps I should qualify my statement- I think an Aero is faster at high speeds, but a 540 wins in a 1/4 mile drag from a standing stop.
If the price difference between the Aero and 540 went into Hirsch upgrades... we all know who would be the winner.
