I have a 05 GT manuel my buddy just bought an 06 GT auto. IN the quatermile does anyone know who is faster? Are there any stat's about that out the in mustang world?

There is a time slip page on this site that may be helpful. It's in the 'street/strip' section of 'speed zone'.

manual is quicker. they have run low 13s bone stock. I never heard any autos running better than what? 13.7? 13.8?

Depends. Is Manuel running from the cops?
If it's dark he can prob jump a couple fences and lose them.

equal drivers the standard will be faster, less drivetrain loss

That depends, if both drivers are crappy, then the guy with the auto stands a chance. Being that there's far more possibility for user error on a manual than with an auto.

But assuming the guy driving the manual isn't a terrible shifter then he should be able to win out.

In a perfect world the manual would win due to less parasitic drivetrain loss. In the real world stock for stock it will rely more on the driver.

Sorry.. i meant to say with good drivers, not a lot of standard drivers can keep up with an auto, none can shift as fast. lol

They say a human isn't as fast to shift as an auto. Auto trans weighs more, with a good driver the stick has the advantage as the drive controls the shift point where the smart auto may choose to shift premature! That said I am amazed that my friend with an auto 4.0 and the only difference is CAI & tune as far as mods are in comparison is running 1 second faster (14.3 vs 15.2) me 94 mph him 95

I have a friend named Manuel and he can't drive a manual to save his life.

Even if the auto wins, the manual has more "cool" factor which is a bigger win.
