The difference is typical of turbocharged vehicles. While the GT does a good job of creating torque and HP down low, the turbo kicks in at higher rpms and you get the kick in the back. Without kicking in the turbo, it is much more lethargic. Stage 1 will develop a little more power down low but it was designed to increase power at the mid and high rpm ranges where it really comes to life.
The autostick mode will allow you to hold shifts until you get to a higher rpm for better performance. If you put it in autostick mode and floor it, it will hold gears until about redline then shift by itself. That is typically the fastest way to get from point A to B.
