Manuals sap less power than do autos, but really it's all about the gearing and the driver. If you don't know how to shift, then an auto will be faster.

I will probably never own an Automatic.....I've been driving for 23years and have never liked Automatics....

I don't think i could ever drive anything but a manual in a sports car again. Sticks are quicker and more fun to drive.
