They put less hp to the ground. One of my friends is at college for engines, his instructor said auto trannys (on average) put 20 hp less to the ground than standards do. UTI

Lol. Yeah ur right! Do autos have less hp than manuals? ( This is a tech question so we're good!)

His instructor is an idiot. Every auto tranny will put down different numbers and it all depends on the amount of power the car makes in the first place. I hear some automatic trannys have more parasitic lost than others...

RE: Fastest Automatics
I'm still in the shop, butmy tuner told me toexpect ~500rwhp on my (very conservative) DD tune, and at least another 50 on my race tune. He's not one to BS either, so my numbers could easily be much higher.
Tranny is a modified 4r75w (built for 1000 fwhp)

His instructore must have no idea what he's talking about, he teaches Auto transmission because: the univirsity wanted a stupid *** teaching for them, so they hired him, the worst person for the job. [/sarcasm]

But putting power to the pavement is what matters, and the auto is a LOT easier on the rest of the drivetrain(more delta-t for those that understand calculus)
