Default Performance figures Manual vs CVT

Following our recent track test and its somewhat suprising result, I am curious to know what the official or road test performance figures are for the two cars.
I have seen the figures from Road and Track on the Insight Central info page, which I assume are for a manual.
Anyone help?

Does any data exist for this.
Or do we need a logging system to create our own?

A little pricy, but does a good job measuring performance, is the GTECH pro accelerometer based performance meter.

Systems like that are for "ricers",
The information you it provides makes it useful to borrow once or twice.

Racers are much better off with GPS based data loggers that cost $700+
because it provides more accurate and much more information that is useful to analysis later. Connect to a computer to retrieve a plot of the exact driving line, elevations changes, instantaneous velocity anywhere, segment times, lap times, when the brakes were used and how hard, throttle position, G forces, Yaw forces etc...
