Default Auto Vs Manual

How much fast is the manual, in 0-60 time and quarter mile times than an auto.

6.9 0-60 is what C&D got for the auto, manual is prolly .3 or .4 tenths quicker.

stock for stock, the manual is better.

Both modded, the manual will make more power (marginally) but the auto will be more consistent and leave less to the driver. The auto tranny is apparently a little more robust and will take a beating better than the weak clutch in the manual.

Auto if you are braket racing, or stuck in bumper to bumper traffic a lot....

Manual if you want every ounce of HP you can get out of the car....

Or just pick what you like.
