With the exception of the 5th and 6th gear the auto does not have longer gears. In fact the first 4 gears on the auto are significantly shorter than on the manual gearbox. Do you read car magazine articles at all?
Also remember, for a 1/4 mile event which you only use 1-4 gears I believe the Auto is more suitable. Here are the gear ratios:
Manual/Automatico
1ª: 8,96 y 7,76 km/h 1000rpm
2ª: 15,17 y 13,83 km/h 1000rpm
3ª: 22,98 y 21,27 km/h 1000rpm
4ª: 30,52 y 28,31 km/h 1000rpm
5ª: 36,35 y 37,32 km/h 1000rpm
6ª: 41,69 y 46,83 km/h 1000rpm
