Default ecoboost vs 86 / BRZ

i was looking through a motor or wheels mag last week and they had a comparison of about 20 or so cars
0-100, 0-400, wakefield park times and so-on

the fastest car was a new 300C srt-8 but the interesting parts was the ecoboost was faster than the 86 in most cases including the track time
the ecoboost did a 1.11 with Warren Luff driving
while the 86/BRZ did a 1.13
the ecoboost was faster in a straight line too
correct me if i'm wrong
and warren said the ecoboost was great but the auto let it down

this tells me ford should make a 6 speed manual ecoboost

and seeing fors can't give them away make a 1 make race series using ecoboost falcons (XR4T's maybe).
