damm straight! Same as all the WRC cars (except mitsubishi)....

1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2-1.... 3 times in a row quicker than you can change one gear in a normal manual...

The Subaru WRC Car, and the BAR F1 even share some of the hydraulic system (both built by prodrive), though the F1 car gets seven gears....

and don't forget that the world's fastest WRX runs a standard auto gearbox and drivetrain (expect for an upgraded tourque converter)....
