I've run a couple manuals, both with more power than me, that should of walked me good, neither did.
I've also seen a couple videos online comparing the two, the auto pulls away a bit both times.
Granted they are VERY close, and maybe a very good running manual with a fast shifting driver could take the auto by a touch, but I'd say 90%+ of the time the auto will come out ahead.
