Default Acceleration for manual IS 250 RWD

Does anyone know the 0-60 for the manual IS 250 RWD? I believe the auto is about 7.9s but was wondering what the manual would be especially given its more aggressive gearing? How about the 1/4 mile times?

No testing has been done on it I assume then?

What I heard from Lexus is 7.6 sec for the 250 M/T.

EVO "hand timed" a 250 (they did not mention its tranny but I am pretty sure being a UK rag it was a manual) 0-62 at 7.3, which is pretty good making 0-60 probably close to 6.9. Which I find completely acceptable for the "small engine" version of a sport sedan. If the auto comes in just over 7 (7.2 or so) I think Lexus will have hit the sweet spot.
