It truly comes down to the driver. I can walk on 5th gen 5 speeds with my 4th gen GLE automatic, and they have the same or more mods than I do. It truly comes down to driver ability. I guarantee that someone would be able to run the sme times with a SE than they would with a GXE.

I wasn't comparing 4th gen to a 5th gen. More than that, I wasnt comparing manual to an auto. My only point is that GXE weights less then any other trim. And 200lbs sometimes make a difference, thats we hear ppl take out spares, seats, and run on empty gas tank. No beef here.

AHA!
I found the difference.. wheel size.. width more specifically
the stock GXE's got 205x65x15
the stock SE's got 215x55x16 tires
SO.. that extra 10 mm could mean a couple of seconds on a 1/4 .. in theory the 215's should be able to grip a little better
...I'm not quite sure about who makes the stock rubber on the 15's also.. but that could matter the stock proxes with the 16's have tolerable grip... the taller 15 makes me think it's more something in the lines of a touring tire...

Handling is called handling, performance is performance, not quite the same thing.
